Collections

Understand how the collections system works

Collections are one of the two ways one can organize their posts in Saaru. They're mentioned in the frontmatter of each .md file as follows, and are only allowed to be a one-dimensional YAML Array of strings.

NOTE It isn't necessary to have your post belong to a collection, neither is it necessary to have the collections field in your frontmatter.

Just mentioning the collection that each post belongs to allows you to access the collections and their posts in your templates as follows ->

{% for collection in base.collections %}
  <p> <strong>{{collection}} </strong></p>
  {% for post in base.collections[collection] %}
    <p> <a href="{{post.link}}"> {{post.frontmatter.title}}</a> &rarr; {{post.frontmatter.description}}</p>
  {% endfor %}
{% endfor %}
