Docusaurus Plugin Module Alias

A small Docusaurus 2.x plugin that simplifies the addition of module aliases.

Installation

npm i --save-dev docusaurus-plugin-module-alias # or
yarn add docusaurus-plugin-module-alias --dev

Why?

Docusaurus 2.x uses webpack to build SSR and client bundles. Creating a plugin to add a module alias for every new docusaurus site can be easily modularized.

Usage

Inside your docusaurus.config.js add to the plugins field and configure with the alias option 👍

const path = require('path');

module.exports = {
    // ...
    plugins: [
        [
            'docusaurus-plugin-module-alias',
            {
                alias: {
                    '@local/component': path.resolve(__dirname, '../src/index.js'),
                },
            },
        ],
    ],
};

Invalid Aliases

Docusaurus has special aliases that shouldn't be overridden: @site, @generated, @docusaurus, ~docs, ~blog, ~pages, ~debug

Options

Name	Type	Required	Description
