How to create a route

Folders are namespaced. So if you want a /about route, do the following:

1. Create a layout called about.njk
2. Create an about folder. It must be one level below src
3. Create a index.njk. This maps out to the base route. Any additional md files are /about/name-of-file

How to pull data into a route

  {% if author %}

    {% for person in people | sort(false, false, 'name') %}

      {% if author == person.name %}
        <div class="td-blog__author">
          <img src="/_assets/img/people/{{ person.img if person.img else "no-avatar.jpg" }}" alt="{{ person.name }}" class="td-blog__author__img">
          <p>{% if person.href %}<a href="{{ person.href }}" target="_blank" rel="noopener">{% endif %}{{ person.name }}{% if person.href %}</a>{% endif %}</p>
          <p>{{ person.bio }}</p>
        </div>
      {% endif %} 

    {% endfor %}

author comes from the post.md YML data. You can sort data from here. The person in people, people is the folder name

You can also do this too:

 {% for person in people | sort(false, false, 'name') %}
      {% if person.team.indexOf('Team Core') > -1 %}
      <div class="td-blog__author">
        <img src="/_assets/img/people/{{ person.img if person.img else "no-avatar.jpg" }}" alt="{{ person.name }}" class="td-blog__author__img">
        <p>{% if person.href %}<a href="{{ person.href }}" target="_blank" rel="noopener">{% endif %}{{ person.name }}{% if person.href %}</a>{% endif %}</p>
        <p>{{ person.bio }}</p>
      </div>
      {% endif %} 
    {% endfor %}

Inside people.json, have a file that specifies the following data:

  {
    "name": "Vincent Tang",
    "team": ["Team Core"],
    "bio": "Vincent runs Code Chefs, a podcast for junior to mid level web developers seeking to level up",
    "href": "https://vincentntang.com",
    "img": "vincentntang.jpg"
  },

How to create a list of blogs or talks

1: Copy over the blogs folder. 2: Make sure the json file is called talks.json. Note this must be named EXACTLY the same as the folder talks for it to work 3: Add a post data pipeline

eleventyConfig.addCollection("talks", function (collection) {
  return collection.getAllSorted().filter(function (item) {
    return item.inputPath.match(/^\.\/src\/talks\/.*\.md$/) !== null;
  });
});

Add a template under talk.njk and have talks.json reference this file
