Presets

Presets are collections of plugins and themes.

Using Presets

A preset is usually a npm package, so you install them like other npm packages using npm.

npm install --save docusaurus-preset-name

Then, add it in your site's docusaurus.config.js's presets option:

// docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
// ...
presets: ['@docusaurus/preset-xxxx'],
};

To load presets from your local directory, specify how to resolve them:

// docusaurus.config.js
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
// ...
presets: [path.resolve(__dirname, '/path/to/docusaurus-local-presets')],
};

Presets -> Themes and Plugins

Presets in some way are a shorthand function to add plugins and themes to your docusaurus config. For example, you can specify a preset that includes the following themes and plugins,

module.exports = function preset(context, opts = {}) {
return {
themes: ['@docusaurus/themes-cool', '@docusaurus/themes-bootstrap'],
plugins: ['@docusaurus/plugin-blog'],
};
};

then in your Docusaurus config, you may configure the preset instead:

// docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
// ...
presets: ['@docusaurus/preset-a'],
};

This is equivalent of doing:

// docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
themes: ['@docusaurus/themes-cool', '@docusaurus/themes-bootstrap'],
plugins: ['@docusaurus/plugin-blog'],
};

This is especially useful when some plugins and themes are intended to be used together.

Official Presets

@docusaurus/preset-classic

The classic preset that is usually shipped by default to new docusaurus website. It is a set of plugins and themes.

To specify plugin options individually, you can provide the necessary fields to certain plugins, i.e. customCss for @docusaurus/theme-classic, pass them in the preset field, like this:

// docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
presets: [
[
'@docusaurus/preset-classic',
{
// Will be passed to @docusaurus/theme-classic.
theme: {
customCss: require.resolve('./src/css/custom.css'),
},
// Will be passed to @docusaurus/plugin-content-docs
docs: {},
// Will be passed to @docusaurus/plugin-content-blog
blog: {},
// Will be passed to @docusaurus/plugin-content-pages
pages: {},
// Will be passed to @docusaurus/plugin-content-sitemap
sitemap: {},
},
],
],
};
