* feat: migrate 7 feature components to community plugins (Phase B)

Migrate ArticleTitle, TagList, PageTitle, Darkmode, ReaderMode,
ContentMeta, and Footer from internal components to community
plugins. Update layout to use Plugin.X() pattern, remove internal
component files and their styles/scripts.

Add MIGRATION_TASKS.md documenting the full migration roadmap.

* chore: updated plugins

* refactor: delete 6 internal component duplicates (Phase A)

Remove Backlinks, Breadcrumbs, RecentNotes, Search, TableOfContents,
Comments, and OverflowList — all replaced by community plugins.
Delete associated styles (6) and scripts (3). Switch layout to use
Plugin.Breadcrumbs() instead of Component.Breadcrumbs().

* refactor: unify QuartzComponent type to structural interface (Phase C)

- Changed QuartzComponent from ComponentType<QuartzComponentProps> to callable type ((props: QuartzComponentProps) => any)
- Added optional displayName property for better debugging
- Removed ComponentType import from preact
- Removed all 13 'as QuartzComponent' type casts from quartz.layout.ts
- Community plugin components now directly assignable without casts

* feat: add PageType plugin infrastructure (Phase D Step 4)

* feat: add PageTypePluginEntry for cross-boundary type compatibility

Introduce PageTypePluginEntry with never[] parameter types to accept
both internal and community PageType plugins in config arrays without
casts, working around branded FullSlug contravariance mismatch.

* refactor: update dispatcher to cast PageTypePluginEntry at boundary

Add getPageTypes() helper that casts config's PageTypePluginEntry[]
to QuartzPageTypePluginInstance[] in one place. Cast VirtualPage.slug
to FullSlug at emitPage/defaultProcessedContent call sites.

* feat: integrate community PageType plugins (Phase D Step 6)

Replace old page-rendering emitters with PageTypeDispatcher emitter
and pageTypes array. Restructure quartz.layout.ts from three separate
exports to unified layout object with defaults and byPageType record.
Install content-page, folder-page, tag-page community plugins.

* refactor: delete old page-rendering emitters

Remove ContentPage, FolderPage, TagPage, and NotFoundPage emitters
now replaced by community PageType plugins and the PageTypeDispatcher.

* refactor: remove migrated page body components

Delete Content, FolderContent, TagContent page components now provided
by community PageType plugins. Update components barrel export.

* fix: update lockfile to fixed folder-page and tag-page commits

Points to commits that remove duplicate PageList/SortFn re-exports,
fixing TS2300 duplicate identifier errors in generated plugin index.

* chore: updated plugins

* fix: populate ctx.trie in PageTypeDispatcher before rendering

Components like FolderContent depend on ctx.trie for folder hierarchy.
The dispatcher now lazily initializes it via trieFromAllFiles in emit
and force-rebuilds it in partialEmit to reflect file changes.

* chore: update lockfile to fixed folder-page commit

* chore: updated plugins

* chore: update explorer plugin to fix SPA folder navigation

* feat: extract transformers to community plugins and fix type compatibility

- Delete 12 internal transformer files (keep FrontMatter as internal)
- Switch quartz.config.ts to use ExternalPlugin.* for all transformers
- Align branded types with @quartz-community/types (_brand, FullSlug etc.)
- Add vfile DataMap augmentations for fields from extracted transformers
- Update all 29 plugins to @quartz-community/types v0.2.1

* Migrate filters to external plugins (remove-draft, explicit-publish)

Delete internal RemoveDrafts and ExplicitPublish filter implementations,
install them as community plugins, and update quartz.config.ts to use
ExternalPlugin.RemoveDrafts().

* Migrate emitters to external plugins (alias-redirects, cname, favicon, content-index, og-image)

* refactor: remove inline scripts/styles migrated to plugins

Delete dead code: callout, checkbox, mermaid inline scripts and styles
are now bundled by the obsidian-flavored-markdown plugin. Clipboard
script and styles moved to the syntax-highlighting plugin. listPage.scss
was unreferenced. Body.tsx simplified to a pure layout wrapper.

* refactor: consolidate utils to re-export from @quartz-community/utils

* fix: use dangerouslySetInnerHTML for inline CSS to prevent HTML-escaping

Preact was escaping & characters in SCSS-compiled CSS (e.g. & nesting)
into &amp;, breaking CSS rules. Using dangerouslySetInnerHTML bypasses
the escaping, matching how browsers expect style element content.

* chore: update plugins with inline script transpilation fix

* chore: updated plugins

* docs: update plugin API sections for v5 community plugins

* docs: rewrite documentation for v5 plugin system

Update feature docs, hosting, CI/CD, getting started, configuration,
layout, architecture, creating components, making plugins, and

Plugins like note-properties export both transformer and component
functionality. Allow PluginManifest.category to be a single value
or an array, with config-loader resolving to the first processing
category (transformer/filter/emitter/pageType) for dispatch.

* refactor: remove built-in FrontMatter transformer

Frontmatter processing is now handled by the note-properties plugin,
which provides the same YAML/TOML parsing plus link extraction and
a visual properties panel. The built-in transformer is no longer needed.

* feat: add note-properties plugin to default configuration

Register note-properties as the first plugin (order 5) in both
the user config and the default config. Placed in beforeBody layout
zone with priority 15 (between article-title at 10 and content-meta at 20).

* docs: add plugin management strategy and syncer v5 notes

Document the plugin management system design decisions and provide
implementation guidance for the Quartz Syncer v5 integration.

In effect, components allow you to write a JavaScript function that takes some data and produces HTML as an output. **While Quartz doesn't use React, it uses the same component concept to allow you to easily express layout templates in your Quartz site.**
## An Example Component
## Community Component Plugins
### Constructor
In v5, most components are community plugins — standalone repositories that export a `QuartzComponent`. These plugins are decoupled from the core Quartz repository, allowing for easier maintenance and sharing.
Component files are written in `.tsx` files that live in the `quartz/components` folder. These are re-exported in `quartz/components/index.ts` so you can use them in layouts and other components more easily.
### Getting Started
Each component file should have a default export that satisfies the `QuartzComponentConstructor` function signature. It's a function that takes in a single optional parameter `opts` and returns a Quartz Component. The type of the parameters `opts` is defined by the interface `Options` which you as the component creator also decide.
To create a new component plugin, you can use the official plugin template:
In your component, you can use the values from the configuration option to change the rendering behaviour inside of your component. For example, the component in the code snippet below will not render if the `favouriteNumber` option is below 0.
```shell
git clone https://github.com/quartz-community/plugin-template.git my-component
cd my-component
npm install
```
### Plugin Structure
A component plugin's `src/index.ts` typically exports a function (a constructor) that returns a `QuartzComponent`. This allows users to pass configuration options to your component.
```tsx title="src/index.ts"
import {
QuartzComponent,
QuartzComponentConstructor,
QuartzComponentProps,
} from "@quartz-community/types"
```tsx {11-17}
interface Options {
favouriteNumber: number
}

### Props
The Quartz component itself (lines 11-17 highlighted above) looks like a React component. It takes in properties (sometimes called [props](https://react.dev/learn/passing-props-to-a-component)) and returns JSX.
All Quartz components accept the same set of props:

- `displayClass`: a utility class that indicates a preference from the user about how to render it in a mobile or desktop setting.
### Styling
Quartz components can also define a `.css` property on the actual function component which will get picked up by Quartz. This is expected to be a CSS string which can either be inlined or imported from a `.scss` file.
In community plugins, styles are bundled with the plugin. You can define styles using the `.css` property on the component:
Note that inlined styles **must** be plain vanilla CSS:
```tsx {6-10} title="quartz/components/YourComponent.tsx"
export default (() => {
function YourComponent() {
return <p class="red-text">Example Component</p>
}
YourComponent.css = `
p.red-text {
color: red;
}
`
return YourComponent
}) satisfies QuartzComponentConstructor
```tsx
Component.css = `
.my-component { color: red; }
`
```
Imported styles, however, can be from SCSS files:
For SCSS, you can import it and assign it to the `.css` property. The build system will handle the transformation:
```tsx {1-2,9} title="quartz/components/YourComponent.tsx"
// assuming your stylesheet is in quartz/components/styles/YourComponent.scss
import styles from "./styles/YourComponent.scss"
export default (() => {
function YourComponent() {
return <p>Example Component</p>
}
YourComponent.css = styles
return YourComponent
}) satisfies QuartzComponentConstructor
```tsx
import styles from "./styles.scss"
Component.css = styles
```

### Scripts and Interactivity
What about interactivity? Suppose you want to add an-click handler for example. Like the `.css` property on the component, you can also declare `.beforeDOMLoaded` and `.afterDOMLoaded` properties that are strings that contain the script.
For interactivity, you can declare `.beforeDOMLoaded` and `.afterDOMLoaded` properties on the component. These should be strings containing the JavaScript to be executed in the browser.
```tsx title="quartz/components/YourComponent.tsx"
export default (() => {
function YourComponent() {
return <button id="btn">Click me</button>
}
- `.beforeDOMLoaded`: Executed _before_ the page is done loading. Used for prefetching or early initialization.
- `.afterDOMLoaded`: Executed once the page has been completely loaded.
YourComponent.beforeDOMLoaded = `
console.log("hello from before the page loads!")
`
YourComponent.afterDOMLoaded = `
document.getElementById('btn').onclick = () => {
alert('button clicked!')
}
`
return YourComponent
}) satisfies QuartzComponentConstructor
```
> [!hint]
> For those coming from React, Quartz components are different from React components in that it only uses JSX for templating and layout. Hooks like `useEffect`, `useState`, etc. are not rendered and other properties that accept functions like `onClick` handlers will not work. Instead, do it using a regular JS script that modifies the DOM element directly.
As the names suggest, the `.beforeDOMLoaded` scripts are executed _before_ the page is done loading so it doesn't have access to any elements on the page. This is mostly used to prefetch any critical data.
The `.afterDOMLoaded` script executes once the page has been completely loaded. This is a good place to setup anything that should last for the duration of a site visit (e.g. getting something saved from local storage).
If you need to create an `afterDOMLoaded` script that depends on _page specific_ elements that may change when navigating to a new page, you can listen for the `"nav"` event that gets fired whenever a page loads (which may happen on navigation if [[SPA Routing]] is enabled).
If you need to create an `afterDOMLoaded` script that depends on page-specific elements that may change when navigating, listen for the `"nav"` event:
```ts
document.addEventListener("nav", () => {
// do page specific logic here
// e.g. attach event listeners
const toggleSwitch = document.querySelector("#switch") as HTMLInputElement
toggleSwitch.addEventListener("change", switchTheme)
window.addCleanup(() => toggleSwitch.removeEventListener("change", switchTheme))
if (toggleSwitch) {
toggleSwitch.addEventListener("change", switchTheme)
window.addCleanup(() => toggleSwitch.removeEventListener("change", switchTheme))
}
})
```
You can also add the equivalent of a `beforeunload` event for [[SPA Routing]] via the `prenav` event.
You can also use the `"prenav"` event, which fires before the page is replaced during SPA navigation.
The `"render"` event fires when the DOM has been updated in-place without a full navigation — for example, after content decryption or dynamic DOM modifications by other plugins. If your component attaches event listeners to content elements, listen for `"render"` in addition to `"nav"` to ensure re-initialization:
```ts
document.addEventListener("prenav", () => {
// executed after an SPA navigation is triggered but
// before the page is replaced
// one usage pattern is to store things in sessionStorage
// in the prenav and then conditionally load then in the consequent
// nav
})
function setupMyComponent() {
const elements = document.querySelectorAll(".my-interactive")
for (const el of elements) {
el.addEventListener("click", handleClick)
window.addCleanup(() => el.removeEventListener("click", handleClick))
}
}
document.addEventListener("nav", setupMyComponent)
document.addEventListener("render", setupMyComponent)
```
It is best practice to track any event handlers via `window.addCleanup` to prevent memory leaks.
This will get called on page navigation.

#### Importing Code
Of course, it isn't always practical (nor desired!) to write your code as a string literal in the component.
In community plugins, TypeScript scripts should be transpiled at build time. The plugin template includes an `inlineScriptPlugin` in `tsup.config.ts` that automatically transpiles `.inline.ts` files imported as text:
Quartz supports importing component code through `.inline.ts` files.
```tsx title="src/index.ts"
import script from "./script.inline.ts"
```tsx title="quartz/components/YourComponent.tsx"
// @ts-ignore: typescript doesn't know about our inline bundling system
// so we need to silence the error
import script from "./scripts/graph.inline"
export default (() => {
function YourComponent() {
return <button id="btn">Click me</button>
}
YourComponent.afterDOMLoaded = script
return YourComponent
}) satisfies QuartzComponentConstructor
```
```ts title="quartz/components/scripts/graph.inline.ts"
// any imports here are bundled for the browser
import * as d3 from "d3"
document.getElementById("btn").onclick = () => {
alert("button clicked!")
const Component: QuartzComponent = (props) => {
return <button id="btn">Click me</button>
}
Component.afterDOMLoaded = script
```
Additionally, like what is shown in the example above, you can import packages in `.inline.ts` files. This will be bundled by Quartz and included in the actual script.
The `inlineScriptPlugin` handles transpiling TypeScript to browser-compatible JavaScript during the build step, allowing you to write type-safe client-side code.
### Using a Component
### Installing Your Component
After creating your custom component, re-export it in `quartz/components/index.ts`:
Once your component is published (e.g., to GitHub or npm), users can install it using the Quartz CLI:
```ts title="quartz/components/index.ts" {4,10}
import ArticleTitle from "./ArticleTitle"
import Content from "./pages/Content"
import Darkmode from "./Darkmode"
import YourComponent from "./YourComponent"
export { ArticleTitle, Content, Darkmode, YourComponent }
```shell
npx quartz plugin add github:your-username/my-component
```
Then, you can use it like any other component in `quartz.layout.ts` via `Component.YourComponent()`. See the [[configuration#Layout|layout]] section for more details.
Then, they can add it to their `quartz.config.yaml`:
As Quartz components are just functions that return React components, you can compositionally use them in other Quartz components.
```tsx title="quartz/components/AnotherComponent.tsx"
import YourComponentConstructor from "./YourComponent"
export default (() => {
const YourComponent = YourComponentConstructor()
function AnotherComponent(props: QuartzComponentProps) {
return (
<div>
<p>It's nested!</p>
<YourComponent {...props} />
</div>
)
}
return AnotherComponent
}) satisfies QuartzComponentConstructor
```yaml title="quartz.config.yaml"
plugins:
- source: github:your-username/my-component
enabled: true
options:
favouriteNumber: 42
layout:
position: left
priority: 60
```
For advanced usage via the TS override in `quartz.ts`:
```ts title="quartz.ts (override)"
import { loadQuartzConfig, loadQuartzLayout } from "./quartz/plugins/loader/config-loader"
import Plugin from "./.quartz/plugins"
const config = await loadQuartzConfig()
export default config
export const layout = await loadQuartzLayout({
byPageType: {
content: {
left: [Plugin.MyComponent({ favouriteNumber: 42 })],
},
},
})
```
## Internal Components
Quartz also has internal components that provide layout utilities. These live in `quartz/components/` and are primarily used for structural purposes:
- `Component.Head()` — renders the `<head>` tag
- `Component.Spacer()` — adds flexible space
- `Component.Flex()` — flexible layout container
- `Component.MobileOnly()` — shows component only on mobile
- `Component.DesktopOnly()` — shows component only on desktop
- `Component.ConditionalRender()` — conditionally renders based on page data
See [[layout-components]] for more details on these utilities.
