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 id="looping-our-collections">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 id="refs">Refs</h2> +<ol> +<li>Just the sections were statically rendered.
