presets	Presets

Presets are collections of plugins and themes.

Using presets {#using-presets}

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

npm install --save @docusaurus/preset-classic

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

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

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

const path = require('path');

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

Presets -> themes and plugins {#presets---themes-and-plugins}

Presets 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/theme-cool', opts.cool],
    plugins: ['@docusaurus/plugin-blog', opts.blog],
  };
};

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

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    '@docusaurus/preset-my-own',
    {cool: {hello: 'world'}, blog: {path: '/blog'}},
  ],
};

This is equivalent of doing:

module.exports = {
  themes: ['@docusaurus/themes-cool', {hello: 'world'}],
  plugins: ['@docusaurus/plugin-blog', {path: '/blog'}],
};

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

Official presets {#official-presets}

@docusaurus/preset-classic {#docusauruspreset-classic}

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

Themes	Plugins
@docusaurus/theme-classic	@docusaurus/plugin-content-docs
@docusaurus/theme-search-algolia	@docusaurus/plugin-content-blog
	@docusaurus/plugin-content-pages
	@docusaurus/plugin-debug
	@docusaurus/plugin-google-analytics
	@docusaurus/plugin-google-gtag
	@docusaurus/plugin-sitemap

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:

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    [
      '@docusaurus/preset-classic',
      {
        // Debug defaults to true in dev, false in prod
        debug: undefined,
        // Will be passed to @docusaurus/theme-classic.
        theme: {
          customCss: [require.resolve('./src/css/custom.css')],
        },
        // Will be passed to @docusaurus/plugin-content-docs (false to disable)
        docs: {},
        // Will be passed to @docusaurus/plugin-content-blog (false to disable)
        blog: {},
        // Will be passed to @docusaurus/plugin-content-pages (false to disable)
        pages: {},
        // Will be passed to @docusaurus/plugin-content-sitemap (false to disable)
        sitemap: {},
      },
    ],
  ],
};

In addition to these plugins and themes, @docusaurus/theme-classic adds remark-admonitions as a remark plugin to @docusaurus/plugin-content-blog and @docusaurus/plugin-content-docs.

The admonitions key will be passed as the options to remark-admonitions. Passing false will prevent the plugin from being added to MDX.

module.exports = {
  presets: [
    [
      '@docusaurus/preset-classic',
      {
        docs: {
          // options for remark-admonitions
          admonitions: {},
        },
      },
    ],
  ],
};
