Setup

Or start by clicking on Use this template on github.com/Atinux/content-wind.

Usage

This template has some built-in features to make it as easy as possible to create a content-driven website.

Pages

Create your Markdown pages in the content/ directory:

# My titleThis first paragraph will be treated as the page meta description.

You can overwrite meta tags by using front-matter:

---head.title: 'Custom <title>'head.description: 'Custom meta description'head.image: 'Custom image injected as `og:image`'---# My titleThis first paragraph will be treated as the page meta description.

This is done thanks to the <ContentDoc> component of Nuxt Content.

The navigation is generated from your pages, you can take a look at the <Navbar> component to see how it works.

It uses the <ContentNavigation> component from Nuxt Content to fetch the navigation object.

To customize the title displayed in the navigation, you can set the navTitle property in the front-matter of your pages:

---navTitle: 'Home'---# Welcome to my siteWith a beautiful description

Icons

Use any icon from icones.js.org with the <Icon> component:

<Icon name="ph:music-notes-fill" />

You can also use it in your Markdown:

:icon{name="ph:music-notes-fill"}

Will result in

Code Highlight

It supports code highlighting with Shiki and as well as different VS Code themes.

```ts export default () => 'Hello Content Wind' ```

Will result in:

export default () => 'Hello Content Wind'

Updating the theme is as simple as editing your nuxt.config:

import { defineNuxtConfig } from 'nuxt'export default defineNuxtConfig({  content: {    highlight: {      theme: 'one-dark-pro',    }  }})

Learn more in the Content Code Highlight section.

Vue Components

Add Vue components into the components/content/ directory and start using them in Markdown.

See the <Alert> component in components/content/Alert.vue.

By leveraging the <Markdown> component from Nuxt Content, you can use both slots and props in Markdown thanks to the MDC syntax.

If you want to go deeper, take a look at the <List> component to see some useUnwrap() magic 🪄
