Caution

The "Layout Switch" and "Spotlight" features of Enhanced Readabilities plugin are temporarily unavailable on screens on mobile devices, so if you're reading on mobile but still want to see the results, check out the video demo below.

Video demo

Why

I often find myself uncomfortable reading code blocks and other wide elements in VitePress-built sites, and this discomfort is often due to the presence of code blocks and elements in the body of the text that need to be scrolled through, even though shorter content is easier to read and scan, the scrolling can worse the reading experience entirely, so this plugin tries to solve this (and many more) problems from another angle.

Problems solved

  1. Expand the width of the content on a large screen, in order to better utilize the space to facilitate the reading of some of the oversized and wide code blocks and elements.
  2. Users and readers may have dyslexia, widening the layout may not be conducive to read multiple lines of text, there may be a serial reading situation, so we need an in-line reading aid .
  3. When reading languages that use spaces to separate words, such as English, we need a word-level reading aid, such as bionic reading. (In progress)

These are just some of the issues I can think of that I've been able to address in my long hours of learning and using the plugin, and the plugin doesn't limit itself to working on these issues. You can also open a separate Issue in GitHub to discuss problems you think might be solved and your ideas.

I know that this kind of functionality can be made into a browser plugin to cover a wide variety of different sites, but I think VitePress is clearly a better and faster testing playground, and since Nólëbase is based on VitePress, I wanted to make this plugin as part of an integration that would make it easy for me and everyone else to integrate it directly into the VitePress project and give it a try.

Features included

  1. Layout switch
  2. Spotlight

How to use

Installation

I can't wait, just tell me how to get it into my project!

You can install @nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities as one of your VitePress project dependencies with the following command:

shell
pnpm add @nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities -D
shell
npm install @nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities -D
shell
yarn add @nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities -D

Integrate with VitePress

It consists two major steps to integrate the Enhanced Readabilities plugin into your VitePress project:

  1. Add plugin-specific options into configurations of Vite
  2. Add plugin into the Theme options of VitePress

Add plugin-specific options into configurations of Vite

First of all, in VitePress's primary configuration file (not this is not a theme configuration file, it's usually located at docs/.vitepress/config.ts, file paths and extensions may be vary), you need to supply some of the Server-Side Rendering related options in the root configuration object of Vite.

Add the Enhanced Readabilities plugin package name @nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities into the Vite options that required by VitePress to process this plugin:

If you've never seen a colored diff before

This is a markup rule for displaying diff in the user interface (UI).

Red parts usually represents the lines you are going to remove, commonly appeared with a Minus sign -, or you could simply understand it as: this line will be removed.

Green parts usually represents the lines you are going to add, commonly appeared with a Plus sign +, or you could simply understand it as: this line will be added.

A TypeScript User?

You need to configure at least the following options:

jsonc
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "ESNext", 
    "moduleResolution": "Bundler", 
  },
  "include": [
    "**/.vitepress/**/*.ts",
    "**/.vitepress/**/*.mts",
    "**/.vitepress/**/*.vue"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules"
  ]
}

And the options

  • module option specifies the JavaScript/TypeScript module format, and Nolebase Integrations uses the ESNext-compatible module format by default.
  • moduleResolution option specifies the module resolution policy, since all Nolebase Integrations plugins follow the latest ECMAScript specifications and export declarations, if you encounter a Cannot find module ... or its corresponding type declarations error you may need to set moduleResolution to Bundler.

If you want more configurations, you can refer to the following example:

jsonc
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "jsx": "preserve",
    "lib": [
      "DOM",
      "ESNext"
    ],
    "module": "ESNext",
    "moduleResolution": "Bundler",
    "resolveJsonModule": true,

    "skipLibCheck": true
  },
  "include": [
    "**/.vitepress/**/*.ts",
    "**/.vitepress/**/*.mts",
    "**/.vitepress/**/*.vue"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules"
  ]
}
typescript
import { 
defineConfig
} from 'vitepress'

ssr
: {
noExternal
: [
// If there are other packages that need to be processed by Vite, you can add them here. '@nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities', ], }, },
lang
: 'en',
title
: 'Site Name',
themeConfig
: {
// rest of the options... } // rest of the options... })

You might have configured the separated Vite configuration file (e.g. vite.config.ts) if you are already mastered Vite. In this case, you could ignore the above configuration and add the following configuration to your Vite configuration file:

If you haven't configured any of the separated Vite configuration file (e.g. vite.config.ts) before but still want to have a try with the above configuration, you can create a vite.config.ts file in the root directory of your VitePress project and add the above configuration to it. (Don't forget to install vite through your package manager as well!)

Add plugin into the Theme options of VitePress

In VitePress's theme configuration file (note that it's not a configuration file, it's usually located at docs/.vitepress/theme/index.ts, file paths and extensions may be vary), import @nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities package and add it to the Layout section as a slot:

VitePress style glitched?

You may notice a slight misalignment in the style of the navigation bar after integrating the navigation bar component with social links configured, this is because VitePress native social links component have a negative 16 pixel right margin as deviation by default.

You can fix this by adding the following style to the .vitepress/theme/styles directory or to the main.css style file under the .vitepress/theme/styles folder:

css
.VPSocialLinks.VPNavBarSocialLinks.social-links {
  margin-right: 0;
}

If you don't have this file, you can create a main.css file and import this style file in the VitePress theme configuration file .vitepress/theme/index.ts:

typescript
import './styles/main.css'

Already have h() function being called after nav-bar-content-after or nav-screen-content-after?

If you have already configured other components for your nav-bar-content-after or nav-screen-content-after, you can work around this by rewriting them as arrays starting with [ and ending with ], as in the following writeup:

typescript
// Rest of the code...

export const Theme: ThemeConfig = {
  extends: DefaultTheme,
  Layout: () => {
    return h(DefaultTheme.Layout, null, {
      'nav-bar-content-after': () => h(OtherComponent), // Your other nav components
      'nav-bar-content-after': () => [ 
        h(OtherComponent), // Your other nav components
        h(NolebaseEnhancedReadabilitiesMenu), // Enhanced Readabilities menu
      ], 
      'nav-screen-content-after': () => h(OtherComponent), // Your other nav components
      'nav-screen-content-after': () => [ 
        h(OtherComponent), // Your other nav components
        h(NolebaseEnhancedReadabilitiesScreenMenu), // Enhanced Readabilities menu for small screens
      ], 
    })
  },
  enhanceApp({ app }) {
    // other configurations...
  },
}

export default Theme

Integrate on-demand

Caution

Configure on your own is for those who know and understand what they are doing. If you don't know what you are doing or encounter problems during configuration, please read and follow the Integrate with VitePress section.

The Enhanced Readabilities plugin exports the components it uses internally, so if you don't like the style and encapsulation of the default menu buttons, etc., you can use these components directly to freely configure your menu buttons:

Install as a Vue plugin

typescript
import {
  
NolebaseEnhancedReadabilitiesPlugin
} from '@nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities/client' import '@nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities/client/style.css'

If you are working on a VitePress and wanted to install it into Vue instance, you can do it like this:

typescript
import type { 
Theme
as ThemeConfig } from 'vitepress'
import
DefaultTheme
from 'vitepress/theme'
import {
NolebaseEnhancedReadabilitiesPlugin
} from '@nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities/client'
import '@nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities/client/style.css' // Rest of the code... export const
Theme
: ThemeConfig = {
extends
:
DefaultTheme
,
Layout
: () => {
// Rest of the code... },
enhanceApp
({
app
}) {
app
.
use
(
NolebaseEnhancedReadabilitiesPlugin
)
}, } export default
Theme

Of course you can also provide the relevant configuration directly when installing the plugin:

typescript
import type { 
Theme
as ThemeConfig } from 'vitepress'
import
DefaultTheme
from 'vitepress/theme'
import type { Options } from '@nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities/client' import {
NolebaseEnhancedReadabilitiesPlugin
} from '@nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities/client'
import '@nolebase/vitepress-plugin-enhanced-readabilities/client/style.css' export const
Theme
: ThemeConfig = {
extends
:
DefaultTheme
,
Layout
: () => {
// Rest of the code... },
enhanceApp
({
app
}) {
app
.
use
(
NolebaseEnhancedReadabilitiesPlugin
, {
locales
: {
'zh-CN': {
title
: {
title
: '阅读增强插件',
} }, 'en': {
title
: {

} } } } as Options) }, } export default
Theme

Configuration

The Enhanced Readabilities plugin currently provides configuration options related to Internationalization and Help Tooltip.

Configure in VitePress

Since VitePress doesn't provide more functionality for the default theme to extend the default theme configuration, it is not friendly to the type checking and maintenance of the configuration if we directly modify the major VitePress configuration object to provide options for the plugin.

Therefore we offer a way with Vue's dependency injection to provide options and configuration for the plugin:

If you've never seen a colored diff before

This is a markup rule for displaying diff in the user interface (UI).

Red parts usually represents the lines you are going to remove, commonly appeared with a Minus sign -, or you could simply understand it as: this line will be removed.

Green parts usually represents the lines you are going to add, commonly appeared with a Plus sign +, or you could simply understand it as: this line will be added.

Internationalization

Caution

The Enhanced Readabilities plugin does not use vue-i18n as an i18n toolkit since most of VitePress probably uses VitePress's internationalization features for internationalization, so it is impossible to override the fields of the localized text of the Enhanced Readabilities plugin with vue-i18n, but you can achieve it with the locales field in Configuration.

The Enhanced Readabilities plugin supports internationalization by default, with English and Simplified Chinese as supported languages by default.

You can override the plugin's localized text through configuration, and before you start, you need to understand how VitePress is internationalized: Internationalization of VitePress. The Enhanced Readabilities plugin reads the VitePress language field by default, so you'll need to be careful to keep the internationalized language code the same as the VitePress language code when configuring it.

Configure in VitePress

In the Configuration section, we've learned how to provide configuration options for the Enhanced Readabilities plugin in VitePress, and we can configure internationalization by adding the locales field to the configuration options:

Accessibility

The Enhanced Readabilities plugin provides accessibility support by default. You can override accessible labels (aria-label) via Configuration in the same way as Internationalization, see Locales Options for a description of what labels can be configured for accessibility.

Problems? Let's Troubleshoot

Encountered Cannot find module ... or its corresponding type declarations error?

If you are encountering this error with Nolebase Integrations packages inside of .ts or .vue files, you may need to configure the moduleResolution option in your tsconfig.json file.

jsonc
{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "module": "ESNext", 
    "moduleResolution": "Bundler", 
  },
  "include": [
    "**/.vitepress/**/*.ts",
    "**/.vitepress/**/*.mts",
    "**/.vitepress/**/*.vue"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules"
  ]
}

If the error persists, please submit a GitHub issue for further assistance and troubleshooting.

The requested module vitepress does not provide an export named useData or The requested module vitepress does not provide an export named useRoute

If you have already configured your VitePress that working properly, you might encounter the above error when you try to install and integrate the Enhanced Readabilities plugin for the first time.

This is part of the command output, use it as reference if you want:

shell
build error:
file://Docs/dist/index.js:2
import { useData as Fe, withBase as tt, useRoute as nt } from "vitepress";
         ^^^^^^^
SyntaxError: The requested module 'vitepress' does not provide an export named 'useData'
    at ModuleJob._instantiate (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:124:21)
    at async ModuleJob.run (node:internal/modules/esm/module_job:190:5)

However, it's ok if the error message is saying either useData or useRoute, you could still use some of the following steps to troubleshoot it and get some references.

Such errors are usually caused by the following reasons:

You are using an older version of VitePress (or incompatible)

You might have actually installed and used a old version of VitePress that didn't support the useData and useRoute composables long before.

To check this, you can check the version of VitePress by running the script docs:dev with the following command:

shell
pnpm docs:dev
shell
npm run docs:dev
shell
yarn docs:dev

The output might look like this:

shell
> @nolebase/integrations-docs@ docs:dev /nolebase/integrations/docs
> vitepress dev


  vitepress v1.0.0-rc.12

  Local:   http://localhost:5173/
  Network: use --host to expose
  press h to show help

The line vitepress v1.0.0-rc.12 indicates your VitePress version as v1.0.0-rc.12, by default, Nólëbase Integrations (include Enhanced Readabilities and the other integrations) requires at least vitepress v1.0.0-beta.1, if you are using some of the versions long before (e.g. alpha), you have to upgrade your VitePress to the nearest compatible version to resolve this issue.

You might missed the configurations in section Add plugin-specific options into configurations of Vite

If you incautiously missed the configurations in section Add plugin-specific options into configurations of Vite, the reference to vitepress inside of the Enhanced Readabilities plugin might be broken or miss-processed when building your VitePress site. So you have to configure it accurately by following the section Add plugin-specific options into configurations of Vite accordingly.
