tip

If you use the preset @docusaurus/preset-classic, you don't need to install this plugin as a dependency.

You can configure this plugin through the preset options.

Configuration

Accepted fields:

Name	Type	Default	Description
path	string	'src/pages'	Path to data on filesystem relative to site dir. Components in this directory will be automatically converted to pages.
editUrl	string | EditUrlFn	undefined	Only for Markdown pages. Base URL to edit your site. The final URL is computed by editUrl + relativePostPath. Using a function allows more nuanced control for each file. Omitting this variable entirely will disable edit links.
editLocalizedFiles	boolean	false	Only for Markdown pages. The edit URL will target the localized file, instead of the original unlocalized file. Ignored when editUrl is a function.
routeBasePath	string	'/'	URL route for the pages section of your site. DO NOT include a trailing slash.
include	string[]	['**/*.{js,jsx,ts,tsx,md,mdx}']	Matching files will be included and processed.
exclude	string[]	See example configuration	No route will be created for matching files.
mdxPageComponent	string	'@theme/MDXPage'	Component used by each MDX page.
remarkPlugins	[]	any[]	Remark plugins passed to MDX.
rehypePlugins	[]	any[]	Rehype plugins passed to MDX.
beforeDefaultRemarkPlugins	any[]	[]	Custom Remark plugins passed to MDX before the default Docusaurus Remark plugins.
beforeDefaultRehypePlugins	any[]	[]	Custom Rehype plugins passed to MDX before the default Docusaurus Rehype plugins.
showLastUpdateAuthor	boolean	false	Only for Markdown pages. Whether to display the author who last updated the page.
showLastUpdateTime	boolean	false	Only for Markdown pages. Whether to display the last date the page post was updated. This requires access to git history during the build, so will not work correctly with shallow clones (a common default for CI systems). With GitHub actions/checkout, usefetch-depth: 0.
