# Overview Page

## Effect

Modern.js Doc has a built-in preview page, the effect is as follows:

## How to use

Generating the preview page requires the following two steps:

### 1. Create a new directory and configure frontmatter

For example, create the following directories and files

```bash
├── docs
│   ├── index.md
│   ├── api
│   │   ├── index.md
│   │   ├── preview1.md
│   │   └── preview2.md
// ...
```

We add the following to `api/index.md`:

```md
---
overview: true
---
```

### 2. Configure `sidebar`

The structure of the overview page will be generated based on the config of the sidebar. For example, we add the following sidebar config:

```ts title="modern.config.ts"
import docTools, { defineConfig } from '@modern-js/doc-tools';

export default defineConfig({
  doc: {
    themeConfig: {
      sidebar: {
        '/api/': [
          {
            text: 'Group1',
            items: [
              // Note: Documents need to be created in advance
              '/api/foo',
              '/api/bar',
            ],
          },
          {
            text: 'Group2',
            items: ['/api/xxx', '/api/yyy'],
          },
        ],
      },
    },
  },
  plugins: [docTools()],
});
```

The framework will extract all the files under the api directory and the h1 and h2 titles in them, and generate a overview page according to the group info in the sidebar config.
