Looping Through Jekyll Collections

-

2022-08-12

-

I recently needed to add a couple new items to my wife’s personal recipe website (cookingwith.casa) which I hadn’t touched in quite a while. The Jekyll build still worked fine, but I realized I was statically adding each collection by hand on the main homepage[^1].

-

Not so good.

-

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!

Looping Our Collections

-

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.

-

Work smart not hard!

-

Let’s take a look at the bare-bones collections loop:

-
{% for collection in site.collections %}
-    <!-- Our code goes here -->
-{% endfor %}
-
-

Then we need to include an if statement to avoid pulling in standard post items (or leave this in if that is desired):

-
{% for collection in site.collections %}
-    {% if collection.label != 'posts' %}
-    {% endif %}
-{% endfor %}
-
-

Now for my specific use case, we want to display each collection label and then list its corresponding items below that label (see the site[collection.label] for reference)

-
{% 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 %}
-
-

That’s it! Now if I plan to add any new collections down the line, I just need to include it in the _config.yml file and I’m set. The homepage will take care of the rest once rendered.

-

Enjoy looping through your Jekyll collections!

  1. Just the sections were statically rendered. All the recipes were pulled in dynamically - I’m not that insane!
