Quick Start

Introduction

Fumadocs can be broken down into two parts: Core and UI.

Core handles most of the logic, from search functionality, to MDX plugins.

Fumadocs UI, the official user interface for Fumadocs.

Terminology

For a better understanding of the docs, there are some common terminologies you should know:

Content Source: The source of your content. Fumadocs MDX, CMS and Contentlayer are examples of content source.

Page Tree: A tree of all the pages, separators and folders. It is essential for navigation elements. See Page Tree.

MDX File & Page: A MDX file could be located in a folder, or available remotely. Instead, MDX Page is only referring to page.mdx, which is already a page on its own.

You might need to be familiar with Next.js App Router to continue.
