Tips

For the complete config item of the plugin ,please see vuepress-plugin-comment1 plugin documentation (opens new window).

Comment Provider

You can choose from 3 comment service provider: Waline, Vssue and Valine.

Comparison between services

• Waline uses a backend server to support comment and pageview statistics, and you can comment without logging in to any account. It needs extra configuration on backend, and you can deploy on vercel for free.
• Vssue uses the issue panel of the code platform repo and requires the user to login or register the corresponding platform account.
• Valine uses leancloud to support pageview statistics, and you can comment without logging in to any account

If your site is for the general public rather than programmers, Waline is recommended.

Waline

Vssue

Choose a platform to use

Vssue can enable comments for your static pages via the Issue System of GitHub, Gitlab, Bitbucket or Gitee, and you can choose one of those platforms.

Go to Supported Platforms - Set up OAuth App (opens new window) for detailed instructions.

After this step, you will get client id and client secret of your OAuth App, which will be used for Vssue options:

• owner: the account / group that owns the repository
• repo: the name of the repository to store comments
• clientId: the client id of your oauth app
• clientSecret: the client secret of your oauth app (only required for some of the platforms)

Use the plugin

Tips

The only difference is that, you should set platform rather than the api package itself.

@vssue/vuepress-plugin-vssue will auto resolve the corresponding API package according to the value of platform:

• Platform github - @vssue/api-github-v3 API package
• Platform github-v4 - @vssue/api-github-v4 API package
• Platform gitlab - @vssue/api-gitlab-v4 API package
• Platform bitbucket - @vssue/api-bitbucket-v2 API package
• Platform gitee - @vssue/api-gitee-v5 API package
• Platform gitea - @vssue/api-gitea-v1 API package
