ContentSearch

This component is only available when the @nuxt/content module is installed.

Usage

Use the files and navigation props to provide the content to search through.

You can open the CommandPalette by pressing K or using the ContentSearchButton component. You can also do this manually with const { toggleContentSearch } = useUIState().

You'll usually use this component in your app.vue:

app.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
const { data: navigation } = await useAsyncData('navigation', () => fetchContentNavigation())
const { data: files } = useLazyFetch<ParsedContent[]>('/api/search.json', { default: () => [], server: false })

const links = [{
  label: 'Docs',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-book-open',
  to: '/getting-started'
}, {
  label: 'Pro',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-square-3-stack-3d',
  to: '/pro'
}, {
  label: 'Pricing',
  to: '/pro/pricing',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-credit-card'
}, {
  label: 'Templates',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-computer-desktop',
  to: '/pro/templates'
}, {
  label: 'Releases',
  icon: 'i-heroicons-rocket-launch',
  to: '/releases'
}]

provide('navigation', navigation)
provide('files', files)
</script>

<template>
  <Header :links="links" />

  <NuxtLayout>
    <NuxtPage />
  </NuxtLayout>

  <Footer />

  <ClientOnly>
    <LazyUContentSearch :files="files" :navigation="navigation" :links="links" />
  </ClientOnly>

  <UNotifications />
</template>

It is recommended to wrap the ContentSearch component in a ClientOnly component so it's not rendered on the server.

The files are fetched from the /api/search.json endpoint, to achieve the same thing you'll need to create a server route:

server/api/search.json.get.ts

import { serverQueryContent } from '#content/server'

export default eventHandler(async (event) => {
  return serverQueryContent(event).where({ _type: 'markdown', navigation: { $ne: false } }).find()
})

We recommend using this method instead of fetching the files directly, the performances will be better.

By default, a group of commands will be added to the command palette so you can switch between light and dark mode. This will only take effect if the colorMode is not forced in a specific page which can be achieved through definePageMeta:

pages/index.vue

<script setup lang="ts">
definePageMeta({
  colorMode: 'dark'
})
</script>

You can also disable this behaviour manually by setting the hide-color-mode prop: <UContentSearch hide-color-mode />. This can be quite useful when forcing the color mode for the entire app in your nuxt.config.ts:

nuxt.config.ts

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  colorMode: {
    preference: 'light'
  }
})
