Plugins are one of the best ways to add functionality to our Docusaurus. Plugins allow third-party developers to extend or modify the default functionality that Docusaurus provides.
## Installing a Plugin
A plugin is usually a dependency, so you install them like other packages in node using NPM.
```bash
yarn add docusaurus-plugin-name
```
Then you add it in your site's `docusaurus.config.js` plugin arrays:
```jsx
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
module: '@docusaurus/plugin-content-pages',
},
{
// Plugin with options
module: '@docusaurus/plugin-content-blog',
options: {
include: ['*.md', '*.mdx'],
path: 'blog',
},
},
],
};
```
Docusaurus can also load plugins from your local directory, you can do something like the following:
```jsx
const path = require('path');
module.exports = {
plugins: [
{
module: path.resolve(__dirname, '/path/to/docusaurus-local-plugin'),
},
],
};
```
## Basic Plugin Definition
Plugins are modules which export a function that takes in the context, options and returns a plain JavaScript object that has some properties defined.
For examples, please refer to several official plugins created.
```jsx
const DEFAULT_OPTIONS = {
// Some defaults.
};
// A JavaScript function that returns an object.
// `context` is provided by Docusaurus. Example: siteConfig can be accessed from context.
// `opts` is the user-defined options.
module.exports = function(context, opts) {
// Merge defaults with user-defined options.
const options = {...DEFAULT_OPTIONS, ...options};
return {
// Namespace used for directories to cache the intermediate data for each plugin.
name: 'docusaurus-cool-plugin',
async loadContent() {
// The loadContent hook is executed after siteConfig and env has been loaded
// You can return a JavaScript object that will be passed to contentLoaded hook
},
async contentLoaded({content, actions}) {
// contentLoaded hook is done after loadContent hook is done
// actions are set of functional API provided by Docusaurus. e.g: addRoute
},
async postBuild(props) {
// after docusaurus <build> finish
},
// TODO
async postStart(props) {
// docusaurus <start> finish
},
// TODO
afterDevServer(app, server) {
// https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/#devserverbefore
},
// TODO
beforeDevServer(app, server) {
// https://webpack.js.org/configuration/dev-server/#devserverafter
},
configureWebpack(config, isServer) {
// Modify internal webpack config. If returned value is an Object, it
// will be merged into the final config using webpack-merge;
// If the returned value is a function, it will receive the config as the 1st argument and an isServer flag as the 2nd argument.
},
getPathsToWatch() {
// Path to watch
},
};
};
```
