Content

Installation

To get started, you can follow the official guide or in summary:

pnpm add @nuxt/content

yarn add @nuxt/content

npm install @nuxt/content

bun add @nuxt/content

Then, add the @nuxt/content module in your nuxt.config.ts:

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    '@nuxt/ui',
    '@nuxt/content'
  ],
  css: ['~/assets/css/main.css']
})

Components

You might be using @nuxt/content to build a documentation. To help you with that, we've built some components that you can use in your pages:

• a built-in full-text search command palette with ContentSearch, replacing the need for Algolia DocSearch
• a navigation tree with the ContentNavigation component
• a sticky Table of Contents with the ContentToc component
• a prev / next navigation with the ContentSurround component

Typography

Nuxt UI provides its own custom implementations of all prose components for seamless integration with @nuxt/content. This approach ensures consistent styling, complete control over typography, and perfect alignment with the Nuxt UI design system so your content always looks and feels cohesive out of the box.

Utils

mapContentNavigation

This util will map the navigation from queryCollectionNavigation and transform it recursively into an array of objects that can be used by various components.

mapContentNavigation(navigation, options?)

• navigation: The navigation tree (array of ContentNavigationItem).
• options (optional):
  • labelAttribute: (string) Which field to use as label (title by default)
  • deep: (number or undefined) Controls how many levels of navigation are included (undefined by default : includes all levels)

Example: As shown in the breadcrumb example below, it's commonly used to transform the navigation data into the correct format.

<script setup lang="ts">
import { mapContentNavigation } from '@nuxt/ui/utils/content'
import { findPageBreadcrumb } from '@nuxt/content/utils'

const { data: navigation } = await useAsyncData('navigation', () => queryCollectionNavigation('content'))

const breadcrumb = computed(() => mapContentNavigation(findPageBreadcrumb(navigation?.value, page.value?.path, { indexAsChild: true })).map(({ icon, ...link }) => link), { deep: 0 })
</script>

<template>
  <UPage>
    <UPageHeader v-bind="page">
      <template #headline>
        <UBreadcrumb :items="breadcrumb" />
      </template>
    </UPageHeader>
  </UPage>
</template>
