valaxy-addon-git-log

Integrate Valaxy's Git Logs plugin to display contributor information

Installing this Plugin

pnpm add valaxy-addon-git-log

By default, the plugin retrieves Git information via API. Due to the limitations of static servers, it may not automatically obtain the repository address from the Git environment. Therefore, it is recommended to manually provide the repository address as shown below:

import { defineValaxyConfig } from 'valaxy'
import { addonGitLog } from 'valaxy-addon-git-log'

export default defineValaxyConfig({
  addons: [
    addonGitLog({
      repositoryUrl: 'https://github.com/your-username/your-repository.git',
    }),
  ],
})

Using this Plugin

Basic Usage

To add Git contributors to a page, use the GitLogContributor component:

<template>
  <GitLogContributor />
</template>

Customization examples

If you are a theme developer or want to customize pages with git information, you can refer to the following example:

<script setup lang="ts">
import { useGitLog } from 'valaxy-addon-git-log'

const gitLog = useGitLog()
</script>

<template>
  <ul>
    <li v-for="contributor in gitLog.contributors" :key="contributor.email">
      <img :src="contributor.avatar" alt="Avatar" width="30" height="30">
      {{ contributor.name }}
    </li>
  </ul>
</template>

Configuration / Options

In your project (wether theme or addon), you can write this in valaxy.config.ts.

export default defineValaxyConfig<ThemeConfig>({
  addons: [
    addonGitLog({
      contributor: {
        strategy: 'prebuilt', // 'prebuilt' | 'build-time' | 'runtime',
        // logArgs: '--first-parent --follow',
      },
    }),
  ],
})

Name	Type	Default	Description
repositoryUrl	string	undefined	GitHub repository URL
contributor.strategy	'prebuilt' | 'build-time' | 'runtime'	'prebuilt'	Data fetching strategy
contributor.logArgs	string	''	Git log arguments (for 'prebuilt' and 'build-time')
contributor.githubToken	string	undefined	GitHub token (required for 'runtime' strategy)

Strategy Comparison

Strategy	Build Requirement	Data Freshness	Host Compatibility	Rate Limiting	Recommended Use Case
prebuilt	Requires local Git	⚠️ Static snapshot	✅ All static hosts	✅ None	Static site generation (SSG)
build-time	Needs CI Git access	✅ Build-time fresh	❌ Limited on: • Vercel • Netlify • Cloudflare Pages	✅ None	Self-hosted CI
runtime	No build tools	✅ Real-time	✅ Universal	⚠️ GitHub API: • 60/hr (anon) • 5000/hr (authed)	Client-side rendered
