ohmyzsh/plugins/frontend-search

Introduction

Searches for your frontend web development made easier

Installation

Open your ~/.zshrc file and enable the frontend-search plugin:

plugins=( ... frontend-search)

Usage

You can use the frontend-search plugin in these two forms:

• frontend <context> <term> [more terms if you want]
• <context> <term> [more terms if you want]

For example, these two are equivalent:

$ angular dependency injection
# Will turn into ...
$ frontend angular dependency injection

Available search contexts are:

Fallback search behaviour

The plugin will use Google as a fallback if the docs site for a search context does not have a search function. You can set the fallback search engine to DuckDuckGo by setting FRONTEND_SEARCH_FALLBACK='duckduckgo' in your ~/.zshrc file before Oh My Zsh is sourced.
