Why vanilla-press
Keep static deployment simple while supporting custom layouts and components, plus a minimized runtime built on demand.
1
Native Runtime
No React or Vue binding. The page output stays simple and includes a signal-based fine-grained reactive runtime.
2
Easy to Extend
Convenient APIs make it easy to customize layouts, components, and runtime modules without changing the main build flow.
3
Flexible Composition
Client entries and dependency management make it easy to connect with external services for advanced features such as auth and payments.
4
Markdown Extensions
Extend markdown-it with container components and connect build-time output to runtime behavior through stable data-vp markers.
5
Search and SEO
Generate a static search index at build time, and declare titles, descriptions, and keywords directly in frontmatter.
6
Multilingual Structure
Generate documentation paths, menus, sidebars, and language switching from configuration, suitable for Chinese and English sites.
Start customizing from the home layout
This page is generated with layout: home and layouts.home variables, and can be used as a reference for custom layout templates.
