Usage

This template has some built-in features to make it as easy as possible to create a content-driven website.

Pages

Create your Markdown pages in the content/ directory:

# My title

This first paragraph will be treated as the page meta description.

You can overwrite meta tags by using front-matter:

---
title: 'Custom title'
description: 'Custom meta description'
image: 'Custom image injected as `og:image`'
---

# My title

This first paragraph will be treated as the page meta description.

This is done thanks to Nuxt Content's document-driven mode of Nuxt Content.

Navigation

The navigation is generated from your pages, you can take a look at the <AppNavbar> component to see how it works.

It uses the Navigation from Nuxt Content to fetch the navigation object.

To customize the title displayed in the navigation, you can set the navigation.title property in the front-matter of your pages:

---
navigation.title: 'Home'
---

# Welcome to my site

With a beautiful description

interface AppConfigInput {
  cover?: string, // default: '/cover.jpg'
  socials?: {
    twitter?: string
    github?: string
    mastodon?: string
  }
}

  }
})

Updating the theme is as simple as editing your nuxt.config:

import { defineNuxtConfig } from 'nuxt'

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  content: {
    highlight: {
      theme: 'one-dark-pro',
    }
  }
})

Vue Components

Add Vue components into the components/content/ directory and start using them in Markdown.
