Theme Configuration

The theme is configured with the theme.config.jsx file. It should export an object that contains your configurations, for example:

theme.config.jsx
export default {
  project: {
    link: 'https://github.com/shuding/nextra'
  },
  logo: <b>Project</b>
}

Detailed information for each option is listed below.

Global

Docs Repository

Set the repository URL of the documentation. It’s used to generate the “Edit this page” link and the “Feedback” link.

OptionTypeDescription
docsRepositoryBasestringURL of the documentation repository.

Specify a Path

If the documentation is inside a monorepo, a subfolder, or a different branch of the repository, you can simply set the docsRepositoryBase to the root path of the pages/ folder of your docs. For example:

export default {
  docsRepositoryBase: 'https://github.com/shuding/nextra/tree/main/docs'
}

Then Nextra will automatically generate the correct file path for all pages.

SEO Options

You can configure SEO related settings via the useNextSeoProps option. The useNextSeoProps function returns the props that will be passed to the Next SEO (opens in a new tab) component.

It is also a hook, so you can use APIs like useRouter inside to return values conditionally.

OptionTypeDescription
useNextSeoProps() => NextSeoPropsA React hook function that returns options for Next SEO.

For example, we can have all pages rendering the same suffix for <title>:

Title suffix
export default {
  useNextSeoProps() {
    return {
      titleTemplate: '%s – SWR'
    }
  }
}

The %s is a placeholder (opens in a new tab) that will be replaced by the page title.

You can also return it conditionally to avoid adding the suffix to the homepage:

import { useRouter } from 'next/router'
 
export default {
  useNextSeoProps() {
    const { asPath } = useRouter()
    if (asPath !== '/') {
      return {
        titleTemplate: '%s – SWR'
      }
    }
  }
}

Head Tags

Configure the <head> tags of the website. You can add meta tags, title, favicon, etc.

OptionTypeDescription
headReact.ReactNode | React.FCComponent that renders the <head> content.

Static Head Tags

If you have only static head tags, it’s easy to directly put them in head. For example:

export default {
  head: (
    <>
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
      <meta property="og:title" content="Nextra" />
      <meta property="og:description" content="The next site builder" />
    </>
  )
}

Dynamic Tags Based on Page

You can also use a function component as head to dynamically generate the head tags based on the current page’s front matter. For example:

import { useRouter } from 'next/router'
import { useConfig } from 'nextra-theme-docs'
 
export default {
  head: () => {
    const { asPath, defaultLocale, locale } = useRouter()
    const { frontMatter } = useConfig()
    const url =
      'https://my-app.com' +
      (defaultLocale === locale ? asPath : `/${locale}${asPath}`)
 
    return (
      <>
        <meta property="og:url" content={url} />
        <meta property="og:title" content={frontMatter.title || 'Nextra'} />
        <meta
          property="og:description"
          content={frontMatter.description || 'The next site builder'}
        />
      </>
    )
  }
}

You can refer to the useConfig API section for more information about the useConfig hook and the frontMatter object.

OptionTypeDescription

banner.keystringStorage key to keep the banner state (dismissed or not).
banner.textReact.ReactNode | React.FCText of the banner.

Banner key

A banner can be dismissed. By default banner.key will be "nextra-banner" and it’s used by localStorage (opens in a new tab) to keep the banner state (dismissed or not) on the client.

If you have updated your banner text, you should change the key to make sure the banner is shown again. The best practice is to always use a descriptive key for the current text, for example:

Banner
export default {
  banner: {
    key: '2.0-release',
    text: (
      <a href="https://nextra.site" target="_blank">
        🎉 Nextra 2.0 is released. Read more →

    )
  }

sidebar.toggleButtonbooleanHide/show sidebar toggle button. Defaults to `false`.

Menu Collapse Level

By default, the sidebar menu is collapsed at level 2. You can change it by setting sidebar.defaultMenuCollapseLevel to a different number. For example, when set to 1, every folder will be collapsed by default and when set to Infinity, all nested folders will be expanded by default.

If sidebar.autoCollapse is set to true, then all folders that do not contain an active/focused route will automatically collapse up to the level set by sidebar.defaultMenuCollapseLevel. e.g. if defaultMenuCollapseLevel is 2, then top-level folders will not auto-collapse.

Customize Sidebar Content

Together with the Separators item, you can customize how the sidebar content is rendered by using the sidebar.titleComponent option:

Customized Sidebar
export default {
  sidebar: {
    titleComponent({ title, type }) {
      if (type === 'separator') {
        return (
          <div style={{ background: 'cyan', textAlign: 'center' }}>{title}</div>
        )
      }
      if (title === 'About') {
