An event listener to allow generating default category pages for the Jigsaw Blog template when an explicit page is not configured.
composer require camuthig/jigsaw-blog-default-categories:dev-master@devAdd the listener to the afterCollections phase of your blog's bootstrap.php
<?php
// bootstrap.php
$events->afterCollections(\Camuthig\Jigsaw\DefaultCategories\GenerateDefaultCategories::class);The listener waits for the collections to be built, it then goes through the posts and categories collections, determining which categories exist on the posts but do not have a file configured for them in the categories collection already.
From there, it creates a new collections configuration, adds it to Jigsaw's configuration, and reloads the collection
data.
Reloading all of the collection data is likely overkill. However, after spending more time than I wanted trying to create the appropriate data myself, I decided it was better to go this route.
Each of the default category pages is treated as a remote collection,
so an empty source/_defaultCategories directory will created after building the site.
