usePages

usePages returns metadata for all pages in the site and is handy for building custom overview pages such as a blog index.

  • Type: () => { pages: PageData['pages'] }

Below is a real-world example showing how to retrieve blog posts located at /blog/* in the current language from the /blog/index page, sorted in descending order by the date field in Frontmatter:

import { useLang, usePages } from '@rspress/core/runtime';

const useBlogPages = () => {
  const { pages } = usePages();
  const lang = useLang();
  const defaultDate = new Date('1970-01-01');

  const getDate = (page: (typeof pages)[number]) =>
    page.frontmatter?.date
      ? new Date(page.frontmatter.date as string)
      : defaultDate;

  const blogPages = pages
    .filter((page) => page.lang === lang)
    .filter(
      (page) =>
        page.routePath.includes('/blog/') && !page.routePath.endsWith('/blog/'),
    )
    .sort((a, b) => {
      return getDate(b).getTime() - getDate(a).getTime();
    });

  return blogPages;
};

usePages does not support HMR; restart the dev server after adding or removing documents to update the list.
