Overview

Layout slots are quite practical, but sometimes you might find them not flexible enough. The theme also provides the capability to override individual components.

Warning

Before using this feature, you should first familiarize yourself with this theme's source code and understand the various built-in components to safely override them.

The theme's component source code is hosted on GitHub under the MIT license.

Usage

The theme registers all non-global components with an alias prefixed with @theme. For example, the alias for VPFooter.vue is @theme/VPFooter.vue.

If you want to override the VPFooter.vue component, you simply need to override this alias in the configuration file .vuepress/config.ts:

.vuepress/config.ts

import { defineUserConfig } from 'vuepress'
import { plumeTheme } from 'vuepress-theme-plume'
import { getDirname, path } from 'vuepress/utils'

const __dirname = getDirname(import.meta.url)

export default defineUserConfig({
  theme: plumeTheme(),

  alias: {
    '@theme/VPFooter.vue': path.resolve(
      __dirname,
      './components/MyFooter.vue',
    ),
  },
})
