# docsify-dashboard
[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/docsify-dashboard)
[](https://github.com/erectbranch/docsify-dashboard/blob/master/LICENSE)
A plugin for [Docsify](https://docsify.js.org/#/) that creates a dashboard from a metadata.
## Import
To use the dashboard, you need to include the plugin in your Docsify `index.html` file:
> **Note:** This plugin requires [docsify-tabs](https://jhildenbiddle.github.io/docsify-tabs/#/) plugin. (Make sure to include it after the docsify-dashboard plugin)
**Add stylesheet**
```html
```
**Add script**
```html
```
## Structure
The following directory structure is used:
- `tags.md`: Empty file for rendering a dashboard by tags in the URL. (e.g., `#/tags?tag=plugin`)
- `posts.json`: Metadata file containing the posts information.
```bash
.
└── docs
├── index.html
└── tags.md
└── metadata
└── posts.json
```
Metadata file example(`metadata/posts.json`)
> **Notes**: "*subtitle*", "*category*" information is optional
```json
[
{
"time": "2025.04.06",
"title": "Shanwei, China",
"tag": "5 min read",
"image": "assets/images/shanwei.jpg",
"href": "#/topic-one"
},
{
"time": "2025.04.05",
"title": "Melbourne, Australia",
"tag": "3 min read",
"image": "assets/images/melbourne.png",
"href": "#/topic-two",
"subtitle": "A beautiful city in Australia",
"category": "travel"
}
]
```
## Usage
### Dashboard
You can create a dashboard by adding the following code to your markdown file:
```markdown
```
To display posts from a specific category only, you can use the following code:
```markdown
```
### Tag-dashboard
You can display a tag list by adding the following code to your markdown file:
- **In sidebar file**: display all tags in the metadata.
- **In markdown file**: only display the current page's tags.
```markdown
```
It will redirect to the tag-dashboard containing all posts that have the same tag.
## Example
### Footer with Page Tags
Add a page footer to display the tags on each page.
```javascript
window.$docsify = {
plugins: [
function pageFooter(hook, vm) {
var footer = [
'',
'
',
].join('');
hook.afterEach(function (html) {
return html + footer;
});
},
],
};
```

## Configuration
To configure the dashboard, you can set options in your `index.html` file. The available options are:
- **Theme**: `default`, `cards`, `list`
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `numTabContent` | `Int` | 3 | Number of cards to show in a docsify-tabs slide. |
| `metadataUrl` | `String` | 'metadata/posts' | JSON URL to fetch metadata. |
| `sort` | `Boolean` | false | Sort the posts by time. (`YYYY.MM.DD`, `YYYY/MM/DD`) |
| `theme` | `String` | 'default' | Theme for the dashboard. |
| `tagboardTheme` | `String` | 'default' | Theme for the tag-dashboard. |
| `categoryTheme` | `Object` | {} | Theme for the specific categories. (`'categoryName': 'default'`) |
| `pagination` | `Boolean` | false | Enable pagination for the dashboard tabs. |
```javascript
window.$docsify = {
dashboard: {
numTabContent: 3,
metadataUrl: 'metadata/posts', // do not include '.json' extension
sort: false, // sort the posts by time
theme: 'default', // (1) default, (2) cards, (3) list
tagboardTheme: 'default', // options are same as above
categoryTheme: {},
pagination: false // enable pagination for the dashboard
}
};
```
