Directory Structure ​

Slidev employs some directory structure conventions to minimize the configuration surface and to make the functionality extensions flexible and intuitive.

The conventional directory structure is:

bash
your-slidev/
  ├── components/       # custom components
  ├── layouts/          # custom layouts
  ├── public/           # static assets
  ├── setup/            # custom setup / hooks
  ├── snippets/         # code snippets
  ├── styles/           # custom style
  ├── index.html        # injections to index.html
  ├── slides.md         # the main slides entry
  └── vite.config.ts    # extending vite config

All of them are optional.

Components ​

Pattern: ./components/*.{vue,js,ts,jsx,tsx,md}

📖 Components

Layouts ​

Pattern: ./layouts/*.{vue,js,ts,jsx,tsx}

📖 Layouts

Public ​

Pattern: ./public/*

Assets in this directory will be served at root path / during dev, and copied to the root of the dist directory as-is. Read more about Assets Handling.

Style ​

Pattern: ./style.css | ./styles/index.{css,js,ts}

Files following this convention will be injected to the App root. If you need to import multiple CSS entries, you can create the following structure and manage the import order yourself.

bash
your-slidev/
  ├── ...
  └── styles/
      ├── index.ts
      ├── base.css
      ├── code.css
      └── layouts.css
ts
// styles/index.ts

import './base.css'
import './code.css'
import './layouts.css'

Styles will be processed by UnoCSS and PostCSS, so you can use CSS nesting and at-directives and Nested CSS out-of-box. For example:

css
.slidev-layout {
  --uno: px-14 py-10 text-[1.1rem];

  h1, h2, h3, h4, p, div {
    --uno: select-none;
  }

  pre, code {
    --uno: select-text;
  }

  a {
    color: theme('colors.primary');
  }
}

index.html ​

Pattern: index.html

The index.html provides the ability to inject meta tags and/or scripts to the main index.html

For example, for the following custom index.html:

html
<!-- ./index.html -->
<head>
  <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com">
  <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Fira+Code:wght@400;600&family=Nunito+Sans:wght@200;400;600&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
</head>

<body>
  <script src="./your-scripts"></script>
</body>

The final hosted index.html will be:

html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/slidevjs/slidev/assets/favicon.png">
  <!-- injected head -->
  <link rel="preconnect" href="https://fonts.gstatic.com">
  <link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Fira+Code:wght@400;600&family=Nunito+Sans:wght@200;400;600&display=swap" rel="stylesheet">
</head>
<body>
  <div id="app"></div>
  <script type="module" src="__ENTRY__"></script>
  <!-- injected body -->
  <script src="./your-scripts"></script>
</body>
</html>

Pattern: global-top.vue | global-bottom.vue | custom-nav-controls.vue | slide-top.vue | slide-bottom.vue
