Quick start
It is recommended to install docsify-cli globally, which helps initializing and previewing the website locally.
npm i docsify-cli -g
Initialize
If you want to write the documentation in the ./docs subdirectory, you can use the init command.
docsify init ./docs
Writing content
After the init is complete, you can see the file list in the ./docs subdirectory.
index.htmlas the entry fileREADME.mdas the home page.nojekyllprevents GitHub Pages from ignoring files that begin with an underscore
You can easily update the documentation in ./docs/README.md, of course you can add more pages.
Preview your site
Run the local server with docsify serve. You can preview your site in your browser on http://localhost:3000.
docsify serve docs
?> For more use cases of docsify-cli, head over to the docsify-cli documentation.
Manual initialization
Download or create an index.html template using the following markup:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1, viewport-fit=cover">
<!-- Core Theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5/themes/core.min.css">
</head>
<body class="loading">
<div id="app"></div>
<!-- Configuration -->
<script>
window.$docsify = {
//...
};
</script>
<!-- Docsify.js -->
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5"></script>
<!-- Plugins (optional) -->
<!-- <script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5/dist/plugins/search.min.js"></script> -->
</body>
</html>
Specifying docsify versions
?> Note that in both of the examples below, docsify URLs will need to be manually updated when a new major version of docsify is released (e.g. v5.x.x => v6.x.x). Check the docsify website periodically to see if a new major version has been released.
Specifying a major version in the URL (@5) will allow your site to receive non-breaking enhancements (i.e. "minor" updates) and bug fixes (i.e. "patch" updates) automatically. This is the recommended way to load docsify resources.
<!-- Core Theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5/themes/core.min.css">
<!-- Docsify -->
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5"></script>
If you prefer to lock docsify to a specific version, specify the full version after the @ symbol in the URL. This is the safest way to ensure your site will look and behave the same way regardless of any changes made to future versions of docsify.
<!-- Core Theme -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5.0.0/themes/core.min.css">
<!-- Docsify -->
<script src="//cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/docsify@5.0.0"></script>
Manually preview your site
If you have Python installed on your system, you can easily use it to run a static server to preview your site.
# Python 2
cd docs && python -m SimpleHTTPServer 3000
# Python 3
cd docs && python -m http.server 3000
Loading dialog
If you want, you can show a loading dialog before docsify starts to render your documentation:
<!-- index.html -->
<div id="app">Please wait...</div>
You should set the data-app attribute if you changed el:
<!-- index.html -->
<div data-app id="main">Please wait...</div>
<script>
window.$docsify = {
el: '#main',
};
</script>
Compare el configuration.
