Enable Shoelace (enabled)

Choose whether the site can use Shoelace web components. The default is true.

If you disable the Shoelace web components, you may need to radically update the markup and layout for Platen.

Always Load Shoelace (always_load)

Use this setting to choose whether the link to the Shoelace library should be added to every page. Platen uses Shoelace’s autoloading feature, which means that it only retrieves code from Shoelace on an as-needed basis.

We strongly recommend leaving this option set to true to minimize complexity. This allows you to use any Shoelace components in your own markdown or special markup without needing to add handlers to cherry pick the components yourself.

Shoelace Version (version)

Use this setting to choose the version of Shoelace to load for your site. Platen regularly updates this version after testing. You can override it to specify an earlier version or set this value to latest to always retrieve the latest released version.

Shoelace Icon Options (icons)

Platen supports automatic registration and easier use of icons through Shoelace. It has built-in support for a dozen different icon libraries.

Default Icon Library (default_library)

You can use this setting to use a different icon library by default. As long as this setting maps to the name or alias of a registered library, Platen will use that library by default for its markup and any icons you specify for theme components.

Always Load Libraries List (always_load_libraries)

Use this setting to create a list of icon libraries that Platen should always load, even when the icons aren’t used in Platen’s markup or a theme component. This is mostly useful if you’re using inline Shoelace components or adding your own markup outside of Platen’s configuration.

By default, Platen checks any specified icon in your markup or theme components and maintains a list of icon libraries to register for each page on your behalf. You can freely use the configured libraries without having to ensure they register.

Icon Library Settings (libraries)

These settings control the registration and behavior for icon libraries to use in Shoelace web components for Platen. Platen provides default configuration and registration for a dozen different icon libraries.

You can also define your own icon libraries to register with Platen. For now, see the implementations for the existing libraries. You can reach out to the maintainers if you have questions or want another library added to the built-in supported libraries.

Feature Partials (partials)

Define a map of partials for Platen to inject as needed. These partials are only injected when enabled is set to true.

Header Partial (header)

If specified, this partial is processed in the HTML header with the current page’s context. The default value is platen/features/shoelace/header. You can overwrite this value, replacing it with another partial entirely, or you can add the same file to your own theme or site, effectively replacing it.

The default partial loads Shoelace from the CDN for use. It also adds a helper script, called modeSwap.js from assets/scripts/shoelace/modeSwap.js, which helps support automatic theming between light and dark modes. Finally, it sets up registration for Shoelace’s icon libraries.
