Help: reading time not appearing #3

Closed berot3 closed 5 years ago

berot3 commented 5 years ago

I hope my quesiton is not too stupid, but I would like to sue this plugin on my vuepress.

I added it to my plugins in config.js but I can't see it displayed anywhere. Does this mean that the theme has to support it or that I have to implement it into the theme somehow?

Thanks for any help!

Vuepress is fully extensible so this plugin doesn't add any UI, it only injects the readingTime object into the $page global object. For instance, I have a custom theme for my blog that injects the time at the top of the posts layout:

You could also just access inside markdown:
