Open Frame

open-frame.config.ts

Workspace-level configuration.

The config lives at the workspace root and is fully optional — every field has a sensible default.

open-frame.config.ts
import type { OpenFrameConfig } from '@open-frame/core';

const config: OpenFrameConfig = {};

export default config;

Schema

type OpenFrameBuildConfig = {
  /** Show the deck index (the frame browser) in the static build. */
  showFrameBrowser?: boolean;
  /** Show on-canvas UI (toolbar, hints) in the static build. */
  showFrameUi?: boolean;
  /** Show the "download as HTML" button in the static build. */
  allowHtmlDownload?: boolean;
};

type OpenFrameConfig = {
  /** Base public path for subpath hosting (leading + trailing slash). Default: '/'. */
  base?: string;
  /** Folder that contains your decks. Default: 'frames'. */
  framesDir?: string;
  /** Folder that holds theme markdown + demo files. Default: 'themes'. */
  themesDir?: string;
  /** Folder for global assets shared across decks. Default: 'assets'. */
  assetsDir?: string;
  /** Dev server port. Default: first free port from 5173 upward. */
  port?: number;
  /** UI language for the runtime (home, inspector, presenter, etc.). */
  locale?: Locale;
  /** Build-time UI toggles. */
  build?: OpenFrameBuildConfig;
};

Common recipes

Public share

const config: OpenFrameConfig = {
  build: {
    showFrameBrowser: false,
    showFrameUi: false,
    allowHtmlDownload: false,
  },
};

Host under a subpath

Set base to deploy the build under a sub-directory instead of the domain root — GitHub Pages project sites, a reverse-proxy folder, an intranet path. Use a leading and trailing slash:

const config: OpenFrameConfig = {
  base: '/my-frames/',
};

The value is passed straight to Vite's base and to React Router's basename, so client-side navigation matches the deployed path.

Multiple deck folders

framesDir is a single path today. If you want multiple roots, group them under one folder and use subfolder ids.

Switch the UI language

import { zhTW } from '@open-frame/core/locale';

const config: OpenFrameConfig = {
  locale: zhTW,
};

See Locale for the full list of presets and how to ship your own dictionary.
