Initial setup

To setup your site's blog, start by creating a blog directory.

Then, add a navbar link to your blog within docusaurus.config.js:

links: [
  ...
  {to: 'blog', label: 'Blog', position: 'left'}, // or position: 'right'
  ...
]

Adding posts

To publish in the blog, create a file within the blog directory with a formatted name of YYYY-MM-DD-my-blog-post-title.md. The post date is extracted from the file name.

For example, at my-website/blog/2019-09-05-hello-docusaurus-v2.md:

---
title: Welcome Docusaurus v2
author: Dattatreya Tripathy
authorTitle: Contributor of Docusaurus 2
authorURL: https://github.com/dt97
authorTwitter: CuriousDT
tags: [hello, docusaurus-v2]
---

Welcome to this blog. This blog is created with [**Docusaurus 2 alpha**](https://v2.docusaurus.io/).

This is my first post on Docusaurus 2.

A whole bunch of exploration to follow.

Header options

The only required field is title; however, we provide options to add author information to your blog post as well along with other options.

• author - The author name to be displayed.
• authorURL - The URL that the author's name will be linked to. This could be a GitHub, Twitter, Facebook account URL, etc.
• authorImageURL - The URL to the author's image. (Note: If you use both authorFBID and authorImageURL, authorFBID will take precedence. Don't include authorFBID if you want authorImageURL to appear.)
• title - The blog post title.
• tags - A list of strings to tag to your post.

Summary truncation

Use the <!--truncate--> marker in your blog post to represent what will be shown as the summary when viewing all published blog posts. Anything above <!--truncate--> will be part of the summary. For example:

---
title: Truncation Example
---

All this will be part of the blog post summary.

Even this.

<!--truncate-->

But anything from here on down will not be.

Not this.

Or this.

Advanced topics

Blog-only mode

You can run your Docusaurus 2 site without a landing page and instead have your blog's post list page as the index page. Set the routeBasePath to be '/' to indicate it's the root path.

Note: Make sure there's no index.js page in src/pages or else there will be two files mapping to the same route!

// docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
  // ...
  presets: [
    [
      '@docusaurus/preset-classic',
      {
        blog: {
          path: './blog',
          routeBasePath: '/', // Set this value to '/'.
        },
      },
    ],
  ],
};
