Docusaurus v2 Notes

Intro​

Some notes on Docusaurus v2.

Blog​

Post Date and File Structure​

In Docusaurus post dates are not extracted from YAML frontmatter, but instead are taken from the .md filename.

.
├── 2019-05-28-first-blog-post.md
├── 2019-05-29-long-blog-post.md
├── 2021-08-01-mdx-blog-post.mdx
├── 2021-08-26-welcome
│ ├── docusaurus-plushie-banner.jpeg
│ └── index.md
└── authors.yml

Also note that markdown files can be grouped in folders with images or not.

Authors​

Author info is extracted from the yml file shown above which takes this format

nick:
name: Nicholas Coughlin
title: Founder @ bidbear.io
url: https://ncoughlin.com
image_url: https://github.com/ncoughlin.png

and is then referenced in the yml frontmatter for a post.

blog-post-frontmatter
---
slug: welcome
title: Welcome
authors: [nick]
tags: [facebook, hello, docusaurus]
---

Docs​

The docs are generated from the docs folder and items there take this file structure

.
├── intro.md
├── tutorial-basics
│ ├── _category_.json
│ ├── congratulations.md
│ ├── create-a-blog-post.md
│ ├── create-a-document.md
│ ├── create-a-page.md
│ ├── deploy-your-site.md
│ └── markdown-features.mdx
└── tutorial-extras
├── _category_.json
├── img
│ ├── docsVersionDropdown.png
│ └── localeDropdown.png
├── manage-docs-versions.md
└── translate-your-site.md

And from this it's not clear how these items are ordered in the sidebar. That is done with frontmatter in the files

intro.md
---
sidebar_position: 1
---

and that position is relative to it's location, so if it's a markdown file in one of the folders, it would be the position of the item in that folder.
