npmTo Container	gg:npm	2025/10/08 21:56:32	/en/guide/markdown/npm-to/

Overview

The npmTo container converts npm command-line code blocks into pnpm / yarn / deno / bun command-line code blocks, presenting them as a group of code blocks on the page.

Within the ::: npm-to container, you only need to write the npm command code block once.

::: details Why do we need the npmTo container? When I write documentation, I often need to provide commands for different environments like pnpm / yarn / npm. This requires multiple code blocks wrapped in the ::: code-tabs container, which is time-consuming and takes up a lot of space in the Markdown content, leading to a poor experience. That's why I created the ::: npm-to container to solve this problem. :::

Usage

::: npm-to
``` sh
npm install -D vuepress vuepress-theme-plume
```
:::

Just wrap the code block containing the npm command-line in the ::: npm-to container.

::: warning The npm-to container only supports a single code block and cannot contain other content :::

The code above will be converted internally to:

::: code-tabs
@tab pnpm
``` sh
pnpm add -D vuepress vuepress-theme-plume
```
@tab yarn
``` sh
yarn add -D vuepress vuepress-theme-plume
```
@tab npm
``` sh
npm install -D vuepress vuepress-theme-plume
```
:::

The final output on the page will be:

::: npm-to

npm install -D vuepress vuepress-theme-plume

:::

You can also control the display order of the code blocks in the group, as shown below:

Input:

::: npm-to tabs="npm,yarn,pnpm,bun,deno"
``` sh
npm install -D vuepress vuepress-theme-plume
```
:::

Output:

::: npm-to tabs="npm,yarn,pnpm,bun,deno"

npm install -D vuepress vuepress-theme-plume

:::

Configuration

This feature is not enabled by default. You need to enable it in the theme configuration.

export default defineUserConfig({
  theme: plumeTheme({
    markdown: {
      // npmTo: true, // Enable with default configuration
      npmTo: {
        tabs: ['npm', 'yarn', 'pnpm'], // Default display order of code blocks
      }
    },
  })
})

npm-to supports converting npm command lines to pnpm / yarn / deno / bun command lines. You can configure the tabs according to your needs.

Supported Command Lines

npmTo does not support all npm command lines. Here is the list of supported commands:

• npm install / npm i
• npm run / npm run-script
• npm init
• npm create
• npm uninstall / npm rm / npm remove / npm un / npm unlink
• npm ci
• npx

::: info For unsupported command lines, npmTo will not process them and will only copy them to the other code blocks. :::
