VITEPRESS FIXES SIDEBAR LINK INCONSISTENCY, PRETTIER BUMPS TO 3.9.4

By RepoJournal · Filed · About Vue.js

VitePress now properly carries link attributes through page navigation, closing a gap where sidebar items and footer pagers behaved differently.

The VitePress theme just landed a fix [1] that ensures target and rel attributes flow consistently from sidebar items through prev/next page links in the doc footer. Before this, a sidebar item configured with target='_self' would open correctly in the sidebar but ignore that directive in the footer pager, creating a jarring experience for docs with custom link behavior. This touches three layers: getFlatSideBarLinks now copies the attributes, usePrevNext returns them, and VPDocFooter passes them to VPLink. Small fix, big consistency win for anyone shipping docs with non-standard link behavior. Meanwhile, create-vue is pulling in Prettier 3.9.4 [2], a routine maintenance bump that keeps your scaffold fresh.
