Docusaurus Themes

Docusaurus Swizzle

Quick Start

Swizzle components to customize Docusaurus theme behavior:

npm run swizzle @docusaurus/theme-classic ComponentName -- --wrap

Core Principles

• Wrap (safe): Extends original component, easier to upgrade
• Eject (unsafe): Full copy for maximum control, harder to maintain
• Interactive mode: Use npm run swizzle to browse available components
• Swizzled components go in src/theme/ComponentName/

Common Patterns

List available components:

npm run swizzle @docusaurus/theme-classic -- --list

Commonly swizzled: Footer, Navbar, DocItem, DocSidebar, TOC

Reference Files

For detailed documentation, see:

• references/commands.md - All swizzle commands and options
• references/components.md - Component-specific guides

Notes

• Prefer --wrap for minor changes to maintain upgrade compatibility
• Test thoroughly after swizzling components
• Check official docs for component-specific swizzle safety ratings
