Vue Global Context

Slidev injected a global Vue context $slidev for advanced conditions or navigation controls.

Usage

You can access it anywhere in your markdown and Vue template, with the "Mustache" syntax.

<!-- slides.md -->

# Page 1

Current page is: {{ $slidev.nav.currentPage }}

<!-- Foo.vue -->

<template>
  <div>Title: {{ $slidev.configs.title }}</div>
  <button @click="$slidev.nav.next">Next Page</button>
</template>

Properties

$clicks

$clicks hold the number of clicks on the current slide. Can be used conditionally to show different content on clicks.

<div v-if="$clicks > 3">Content</div>

$page

$page holds the number of the current page, 1-indexed.

Page: {{ $page }}

Is current page active: {{ $page === $slidev.nav.currentPage }}

$renderContext

$renderContext holds the current render context, which can be slide, overview, presenter or previewNext

<div v-if="$renderContext === 'slide'">
  This content will only be rendered in slides view
</div>

$slidev.nav

A reactive object holding the properties and controls of the slide navigation. For examples:

$slidev.nav.next() // go next step

$slidev.nav.nextSlide() // go next slide (skip v-clicks)

$slidev.nav.go(10) // go slide #10

$slidev.nav.currentPage // current slide number

$slidev.nav.currentLayout // current layout id

For more properties available, refer to the SlidevContextNav interface.

Note: $slidev.nav.clicks is a global state while $clicks is local to each slide. It's recommended to use $clicks over $slidev.nav.clicks to avoid clicks changed been triggered on page transitions.

$slidev.configs

A reactive object holding the parsed configurations in the first frontmatter of your slides.md. For example

---
title: My First Slidev!
---

{{ $slidev.configs.title }} // 'My First Slidev!'

$slidev.themeConfigs

A reactive object holding the parsed theme configurations.

---
title: My First Slidev!
themeConfig:
  primary: # 213435
---

{{ $slidev.themeConfigs.primary }} // '#213435'

$nav

Available since v0.43.0

A shorthand of $slidev.nav.

Composable Usage

Available since v0.48.0

If you want to get the context programmatically (also type-safely), you can import composables from @slidev/client:

<script setup>
import { useDarkMode, useNav, useSlidevContext } from '@slidev/client'

const { $slidev } = useSlidevContext()
const { currentSlideRoute } = useNav()
const { isDark } = useDarkMode()
// ...
</script>

NOTE

Previously, you might see the usage of importing nested modules like import { isDark } from '@slidev/client/logic/dark.ts', this is NOT RECOMMENDED as they are internal implementation details and might be broken in the future. Try always to use the public API from @slidev/client whenever possible.
