Installation

yarn add docusaurus-plugin-auto-sidebars

or

npm install docusaurus-plugin-auto-sidebars --save

Usage

1. Create an empty sidebars.auto.js in the root of the project

2. Add this plugin to the plugins array in docusaurus.config.js :

module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    'docusaurus-plugin-auto-sidebars'
  ],
}

Or, if you want to specify a custom docs folder:

module.exports = {
  // ...
  plugins: [
    ['docusaurus-plugin-auto-sidebars', {
      docs:'mydocs'
    }]
  ],
}

How to change the title of the folders?

Just add a sidebars.yaml in your docs folder:

- folder1: 
  - Parent Folder One # First element is the title of parent, next elements are sub directories
  - subfolder1: Sub Folder One
  - subfolder2: Sub Folder Two
  - subfolder3: false # Hide it!
  
- folder2: 
  - Parent Folder Two # First element is the title
  - subfolder1: Sub Folder One
  - subfolder2: Sub Folder Two

How to change the order of the files and the folders?

Method 1: By adding a number to the beggining of files and folders

1.fileX.md
2.fileY.md
3.fileX.md

Note : You can also use negative numbers to display them in reverse order : -1. fileX.md

Method 2: Define them in the sidebars.yaml file

- folder1: 
  - Parent Folder One: 1 # the order number beside the title
  - subfolder1: Sub Folder One
  - subfolder2: Sub Folder Two
  
- folder2: 
  - Parent Folder Two: 2 # the order number beside the title
  - subfolder1: Sub Folder One
  - subfolder2: Sub Folder Two
