Multiple values for "base" configuration

[hanxue]

Feature request

I need to have the ability to set different values of base for deployment to multiple sites. My default deployment for the site is OK with the default, unspecified value for base because the content is deployed to https://www.wujiquan.net

I also want to have a development deployment to https://hanxue.github.io/wujiquan-vuepress/ , to the gh-pages branch. Without setting base to wujiquan-vuepress, the Github Pages site will not work

What problem does this feature solve?

Allowing multiple deployments with differing settings of base.

Is there any option to set configuration values via environment variables, or to specify a different configuration file other than the default config.js?

You can just set the base value depending on an environment variable:

module.exports = {
  base: process.env.VUEPRESS_BASE || '/'
}

@RVYA Did you ever figure out how to set multiple values in config.js for VuePress base?

The environment variable NODE_ENV was not injected when config.js was read, so you need to set the environment variable in your package.json.

Excuse me, my question is that I want to use the same code to automatically deploy on /XXX/ and /.
So what can I do?

I searched how to set environment variable in package.json, but how to dynamic set it?

Could you tell me more specificlly?

You can use npm i -D cross-env

in your package.json
"docs:build": "cross-env NODE_ENV=production vuepress build docs"

in config.js
module.exports = { base: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production'? '/github_repo/': '/' }
