The Jekyll build still worked fine, but I realized I was statically adding each <code>collection</code> by hand on the main homepage[^1].</p> +<p>Not so good.</p> +<p>Of course, this wasn't difficult at all to fix. Now everything is much more "hands free" moving forward. I figured I would share the details here in the hopes that others mind find it useful. Plus, it's my blog - so I'll do what I want!</p> +<h2>Looping Our Collections</h2> +<p>We want Jekyll to make things as streamlined as possible for us. This means that if I decide to add a new collection it will automatically render it along the others on the homepage.</p> +<p>Work smart not hard!</p> +<p>Let's take a look at the bare-bones collections loop:</p> +<pre><code>{% for collection in site.collections %} + <!-- Our code goes here --> +{% endfor %} +</code></pre> +<p>Then we need to include an <code>if</code> statement to avoid pulling in standard <code>post</code> items (or leave this in if that is desired):</p> +<pre><code>{% for collection in site.collections %} + {% if collection.label != 'posts' %} + {% endif %} +{% endfor %} +</code></pre> +<p>Now for my specific use case, we want to display each collection label and then list its corresponding items below that label (see the <code>site[collection.label]</code> for reference)</p> +<pre><code>{% for collection in site.collections %} + {% if collection.label != 'posts' %} + <h2>{{ collection.label }}</h2> + <ul class="recipe-list"> + {% for item in site[collection.label] %} + <li> + <a href="{{ item.url }}">{{ item.title }}</a> + </li> + {% endfor %} + </ul> + <hr> + {% endif %} +{% endfor %} +</code></pre> +<p>That's it! Now if I plan to add any new collections down the line, I just need to include it in the <code>_config.yml</code> file and I'm set. The homepage will take care of the rest once rendered.</p> +<p>Enjoy looping through your Jekyll collections!</p> +<h2>Refs</h2> +<ol> +<li>Just the sections were statically rendered. All the recipes were pulled in dynamically - I'm not that insane!</li> +</ol> +<footer role="contentinfo"> + <h2>Menu Navigation</h2> + <ul id="menu"> + <li><a href="/">Home</a></li> + <li><a href="/projects">Projects</a></li> + <li><a href="/uses">Uses</a></li> + <li><a href="/wiki">Wiki</a></li> + <li><a href="/resume">Resume</a></li> + <li><a href="/colophon">Colophon</a></li> + <li><a href="/now">Now</a></li> + <li><a href="/donate">Donate</a></li> + <li><a href="/atom.xml">RSS</a></li> + <li><a href="#top">↑ Top of the page</a></li> + </ul> + <small> + Built with <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/barf">barf</a>. <br> + Maintained with ♥ for the web. <br> + Proud supporter of <a href="https://usefathom.com/ref/DKHJVX">Fathom</a> & <a href="https://nextdns.io/?from=74d3p3h8">NextDNS</a>. <br> + The content for this site is <a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/">CC-BY-SA</a>.<br> The <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht">code for this site</a> is <a href="https://git.sr.ht/~bt/bt.ht/tree/master/item/LICENSE">MIT</a>. + </small> +</footer>
