This plugin is designed to create a footer area at the base of your sidebar (or page) where you can list a copyright year (range), your name or company with a URL, and links to a privacy policy, terms of service, and a cookies policy.

Installation

Update index.html file

Assuming you have a working docsify framework set up, it is easy to use the plugin.

1. Add the following script tag to your index.html via either CDN or downloading it and using it locally:

   <!-- unpkg.com -->
   <script src="https://unpkg.com/@markbattistella/docsify-sidebarfooter@latest"></script>
   
   <!-- jsDelivr -->
   <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@markbattistella/docsify-sidebarfooter@latest"></script>
   
   <!-- locally -->
   <script src="docsify-sidebarfooter.min.js"></script>
   

2. In docsify setup configure the plugin:

   <script>
   window.$docsify = {
     autoFooter: {
       name:       String,          // company display name (required)
       copyYear:   Int,             // start copyright year (required)
       url:        String,          // company url (optional)
       policy:     Bool | String,   // show Privacy Policy (optional)
       terms:      Bool | String,   // show Terms of Service (optional)
       cookies:    Bool | String,   // show Cookies Policy (optional)
       onBody:     Bool             // if true it is on the main doc
     }
   };
   </script>
   

npm install

Or if you're using npm to manage your dependencies:

npm i @markbattistella/docsify-sidebarfooter

Additional files

If you are using the Privacy Policy, Terms of Service, or Cookie links, then add the files to the root (next to index.html). However, if you inputted strings make sure they are in the location of that path with the correct filename.
