Quick Start

Newbee

First time with Vuepress? Learn how to use it referring by Official Docs

Assume with a project structure below:

.
├─ docs            # blogs dir
│  ├─ _posts       # pages dir
│  └─ .vuepress    # theme config dir
│     └─ config.js # theme config file
└─ package.json

Fetch Theme

Installing this theme with one Vuepress project:

yarn add vuepress-theme-yuchanns # or npm install vuepress-theme-yuchanns

Then change theme value as yuchanns in .vuepress/config.js.

// .vuepress/config.js

module.exports = {
  theme: 'yuchanns'
}

Next add scripts into package.json:

{
  "scripts": {
    "dev": "vuepress dev docs --no-cache --temp .temp",
    "build": "vuepress build docs --dest docs-dist"
  }
}

So you can run yarn dev(or npm run dev) and visit localhost:8080 to view theme.

Otherwise deploy by running yarn build(or npm run build) to produce static files.
