Docusaurus makes it easy to maintain Open Source documentation websites.

IMPORTANT: this is the documentation of Docusaurus v1.

We now recommend using Docusaurus 2 instead!

Powered by Markdown

Save time and focus on your project's documentation. Simply write docs and blog posts with Markdown and Docusaurus will publish a set of static html files ready to serve.

Built Using React

Extend or customize your project's layout by reusing React. Docusaurus can be extended while reusing the same header and footer.

Ready for Translations

Localization comes pre-configured. Use Crowdin to translate your docs into over 70 languages.

Document Versioning

Support users on all versions of your project. Document versioning helps you keep documentation in sync with project releases.

Document Search

Make it easy for your community to find what they need in your documentation. We proudly support Algolia documentation search.

Quick Setup

Get up and running quickly without having to worry about site design.

Develop and Deploy

Make design and documentation changes by using the included live server. Publish your site to GitHub pages or other static file hosts manually, using a script, or with continuous integration like CircleCI.

Website Features

Docusaurus currently provides support to help your website use translations, search, and versioning, along with some other special documentation markdown features. If you have ideas for useful features, feel free to contribute on GitHub!

Christopher "vjeux" Chedeau
Lead Prettier Developer

I've helped open source many projects at Facebook and every one needed a website. They all had very similar constraints: the documentation should be written in markdown and be deployed via GitHub pages. None of the existing solutions were great, so I hacked my own and then forked it whenever we needed a new website. I’m so glad that Docusaurus now exists so that I don’t have to spend a week each time spinning up a new one.

Hector Ramos
Lead React Native Advocate

Open source contributions to the React Native docs have skyrocketed after our move to Docusaurus. The docs are now hosted on a small repo in plain markdown, with none of the clutter that a typical static site generator would require. Thanks Slash!

Ricky Vetter
ReasonReact Developer

Docusaurus has been a great choice for the ReasonML family of projects. It makes our documentation consistent, i18n-friendly, easy to maintain, and friendly for new contributors.
