create new page from website

[dezren39]

i'd like to be able to make a new page from the website, nothing as complex as #121, more an extension of the 'edit page' functionality that opens github/gitlab editor. i imagine a + icon that will make use <repo>/new/<branch>/<path> instead of using the /edit/ link like in the edit icon.

as a separate feature, possibly would be nice to have a quick way to make a new page in any folder, not just the current folder. i imagine some degree of interactivity for that, like how ctrl+k works but just for directories-- click 'new item dynamic' icon, type name of folder with autocomplete, then it drops you in github new page url for that path. this would be distinct from #84 because it would work entirely on the static page.

i believe github allows you to pre-populate the file name and even file contents in the 'new' url.

• <repo>/new/<branch><path>?filename=<filename>&value=<uri-encoded contents>

a yaml toggle to pre-populate markdown file with a zettlekasten date would be nice or maybe even a folgezettel id if it can be inferred.

could even populate a header based on the current file header/metadata.

but, to start a 'new file' button would be neat. :-)

one could possibly even allow fancy editing in the static site, then 'submit' the page to github

related? like a miniature version of this, using the static site: srid/ema#59

separate but related, there is also a /delete/ url path that could be used to make a 'delete' button on any page. not that i intend to delete that often but it would be a nice little feature to be able to do directly from the website.

The HTML templates can be edited by the user using the layer system. We can also expose the necessary template vars from Haskell source (PR welcome) for this.

thank you! i will investigate and may try to make a pr if i can figure anything out.

ok i have this somewhat working but not really clean enough for a pr or anything. i've come up with 2 questions that i am unsure how to go about implementing.

• how can i make index.yaml values accessible in sidebar/sidebar-tree/etc. templates?
  • maybe i can make a new/edit/delete urls in template.sidebar?
• is there a way to reuse stork index with a different url prefix or possibly transforming the route a little? or if needed making an alternate index? i found the stork haskell code that wraps the stork binary but don't really know how it comes together.
