Sidebar: Is there a way to set active state based on route and not id?

[TimeDropsSB]

On a page, clicking on a heading link appends an id into the URL which also changes the active state of the sidebar link. For example, https://docsify.js.org/#/more-pages?id=table-of-contents sets "Table of Contents" to active.

Is there a way to keep the active state of the sidebar to "Writing more pages" instead (which is the route name) even after clicking on a heading link? Basically, is there a way for the above link to be the same as https://docsify.js.org/#/more-pages when setting the sidebar active state?

I use a table of contents plugin for headings instead of the sidebar and losing the active state in the sidebar is very frustrating.

+1, same behavior for me and same need :(

Below my workaround:

styles:

      .sidebar-nav li ul {
        display: none;
      }

code:

      // Install a specific plugin to force current sidebar item active into collapse state
      $docsify.plugins = [].concat(install, $docsify.plugins);

      function install(hook, vm) {
        function forceCollapse() {
          var elt = document.querySelector(".sidebar-nav li.active");
          if (!elt) {
            // Sub item selected, to back parent level 1
            elt = document.querySelector(".sidebar-nav li.collapse")
              .parentElement;
            while (elt.tagName !== "LI" || !elt.offsetParent) {
              if (elt.classList.contains("sidebar-nav")) return;
              elt = elt.parentElement;
            }
          }
          if (elt) {
            console.log(elt);
            elt.className = "collapse";
            elt.onclick = function(ev) {
              setTimeout(function() {
                elt.className = "collapse";
              }, 1);
            };
          }
        }

        hook.doneEach(forceCollapse);

        hook.ready(forceCollapse);
      }
