# Theme Configuration

The theme is configured with the theme.config.jsx (opens new window) file. It should export an object that contains your configurations, for example:

export default {
  logo: <>
    <svg width="24" height="24" viewBox="0 0 24 24">
      <path
        fill="currentColor"

Detailed information for each option is listed below.

# Global

# Docs Repository

Set the repository URL of the documentation. It’s used to generate the “Edit this page” link and the “Feedback” link.

Option Type Description
docsRepositoryBase string URL of the documentation repository

# Specify a Path

If the documentation is inside a monorepo, a subfolder, or a different branch of the repository, you can simply set the docsRepositoryBase to the root path of the pages/ folder of your docs. For example:

export default {
  docsRepositoryBase: 'https://github.com/shuding/nextra/tree/main/docs'
}

Here is another example:

export default {
  docsRepositoryBase: 'https://github.com/ULL-MII-SYTWS-2425/nextra-casiano-rodriguez-leon-alu0100291865/blob/main/',
}

Then Nextra will automatically generate the correct file path for all pages.

# Head Tags

Configure the <head> tags of the website. You can add meta tags, title, favicon, etc.

Option Type Description
head React.ReactNode \| React.FC Component that renders the <head> content

# Static Head Tags

If you have only static head tags, it’s easy to directly put them in head. For example:

export default {
  head: (
    <>
      <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
      <meta property="og:title" content="Nextra" />
      <meta property="og:description" content="The next site builder" />
    </>
  )
}

# Dynamic Tags Based on Page

You can also use a function component as head to dynamically generate the head tags based on the current page’s front matter. For example:

import { useRouter } from 'next/router'
import { useConfig } from 'nextra-theme-docs'

export default {
  head() {
    const { asPath, defaultLocale, locale } = useRouter()
    const { frontMatter } = useConfig()
    const url =
      'https://my-app.com' +
      (defaultLocale === locale ? asPath : `/${locale}${asPath}`)

    return (
      <>
        <meta property="og:url" content={url} />
        <meta property="og:title" content={frontMatter.title || 'Nextra'} />
        <meta
          property="og:description"
          content={frontMatter.description || 'The next site builder'}
        />
      </>
    )
  }
}

Option Type Description
banner.dismissible boolean Closable banner or not
banner.key string Storage key to keep the banner state (dismissed or not)
banner.content React.ReactNode \| React.FC Content of the banner

A banner can be dismissed. By default banner.key will be "nextra-banner" and it’s used by localStorage (opens new window) to keep the banner state (dismissed or not) on the client.

If you have updated your banner text, you should change the key to make sure the banner is shown again. The best practice is to always use a descriptive key for the current text, for example:

import bannerImage from 'public/assets/docs/banner.png'

export default {
  banner: {
    key: '2.0-release',
    content: (
      <a href="https://nextra.site" target="_blank">
        🎉 Nextra 2.0 is released. Read more →
      </a>
    )

If sidebar.autoCollapse is set to true, then all folders that do not contain an active/focused route will automatically collapse up to the level set by sidebar.defaultMenuCollapseLevel. e.g. if defaultMenuCollapseLevel is 2, then top-level folders will not auto-collapse.

# Customize Sidebar Content

Together with the [Separators]https://nextra.site/docs/docs-theme/page-configuration#separators) item, you can customize how the sidebar content is rendered by using JSX elements:
