# Docusaurus Swizzle

## Quick Start

Swizzle components to customize Docusaurus theme behavior:

```bash
npm run swizzle @docusaurus/theme-classic ComponentName -- --wrap
```

## Core Principles

- **Wrap** (safe): Extends original component, easier to upgrade
- **Eject** (unsafe): Full copy for maximum control, harder to maintain
- **Interactive mode**: Use `npm run swizzle` to browse available components
- Swizzled components go in `src/theme/ComponentName/`

## Common Patterns

**List available components:**

```bash
npm run swizzle @docusaurus/theme-classic -- --list
```

**Commonly swizzled:** Footer, Navbar, DocItem, DocSidebar, TOC

## Reference Files

For detailed documentation, see:

- [references/commands.md](references/commands.md) - All swizzle commands and options
- [references/components.md](references/components.md) - Component-specific guides

## Notes

- Prefer `--wrap` for minor changes to maintain upgrade compatibility
- Test thoroughly after swizzling components
- Check official docs for component-specific swizzle safety ratings
