Wiki VitePress Packager
Transform generated wiki Markdown files into a polished VitePress static site with dark theme and interactive Mermaid diagrams.
When to Use
- User asks to "build a site" or "package as VitePress"
- User runs the
/deep-wiki:buildcommand - User wants a browsable HTML output from generated wiki pages
VitePress Scaffolding
Generate the following structure in a wiki-site/ directory:
wiki-site/ ├── .vitepress/ │ ├── config.mts │ └── theme/ │ ├── index.ts │ └── custom.css ├── public/ ├── [generated .md pages] ├── package.json └── index.md
Config Requirements (config.mts)
- Use
withMermaidwrapper fromvitepress-plugin-mermaid - Set
appearance: 'dark'for dark-only theme - Configure
themeConfig.navandthemeConfig.sidebarfrom the catalogue structure - Mermaid config must set dark theme variables:
mermaid: { theme: 'dark', themeVariables: { primaryColor: '#1e3a5f', primaryTextColor: '#e0e0e0', primaryBorderColor: '#4a9eed', lineColor: '#4a9eed', secondaryColor: '#2d4a3e', tertiaryColor: '#2d2d3d', background: '#1a1a2e', mainBkg: '#1e3a5f', nodeBorder: '#4a9eed', clusterBkg: '#16213e', titleColor: '#e0e0e0', edgeLabelBackground: '#1a1a2e' } }
Dark-Mode Mermaid: Three-Layer Fix
Layer 1: Theme Variables (in config.mts)
Set via mermaid.themeVariables as shown above.
Layer 2: CSS Overrides (custom.css)
Target Mermaid SVG elements with !important:
.mermaid .node rect, .mermaid .node circle, .mermaid .node polygon { fill: #1e3a5f !important; stroke: #4a9eed !important; } .mermaid .edgeLabel { background-color: #1a1a2e !important; color: #e0e0e0 !important; } .mermaid text { fill: #e0e0e0 !important; } .mermaid .label { color: #e0e0e0 !important; }
Layer 3: Inline Style Replacement (theme/index.ts)
Mermaid inline style attributes override everything. Use onMounted + polling to replace them:
import { onMounted } from 'vue' // In setup() onMounted(() => { let attempts = 0 const fix = setInterval(() => { document.querySelectorAll('.mermaid svg [style]').forEach(el => { const s = (el as HTMLElement).style if (s.fill && !s.fill.includes('#1e3a5f')) s.fill = '#1e3a5f' if (s.stroke && !s.stroke.includes('#4a9eed')) s.stroke = '#4a9eed' if (s.color) s.color = '#e0e0e0' }) if (++attempts >= 20) clearInterval(fix) }, 500) })
Use setup() with onMounted, NOT enhanceApp() — DOM doesn't exist during SSR.
Click-to-Zoom for Mermaid Diagrams
Wrap each .mermaid container in a clickable wrapper that opens a fullscreen modal:
document.querySelectorAll('.mermaid').forEach(el => { el.style.cursor = 'zoom-in' el.addEventListener('click', () => { const modal = document.createElement('div') modal.className = 'mermaid-zoom-modal' modal.innerHTML = el.outerHTML modal.addEventListener('click', () => modal.remove()) document.body.appendChild(modal) }) })
Modal CSS:
.mermaid-zoom-modal { position: fixed; inset: 0; background: rgba(0,0,0,0.9); display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center; z-index: 9999; cursor: zoom-out; } .mermaid-zoom-modal .mermaid { transform: scale(1.5); }
Post-Processing Rules
Before VitePress build, scan all .md files and fix:
- Replace
<br/>with<br>(Vue template compiler compatibility) - Wrap bare
<T>generic parameters in backticks outside code fences - Ensure every page has YAML frontmatter with
titleanddescription
Build
cd wiki-site && npm install && npm run docs:build
Output goes to wiki-site/.vitepress/dist/.
Known Gotchas
- Mermaid renders async — SVGs don't exist when
onMountedfires. Must poll. isCustomElementcompiler option for bare<T>causes worse crashes — do NOT use it- Node text in Mermaid uses inline
stylewith highest specificity — CSS alone won't fix it enhanceApp()runs during SSR wheredocumentdoesn't exist — usesetup()only
