^Features Virtual pages

virtualPages generates Eleventy pages from a pages.yaml file in the input directory. Each entry's front-matter data is passed directly to addTemplate; if the entry has a permalink field it is used to derive the virtual slug (e.g. permalink: /about/ → .about/index.md), otherwise the array index is used.

How it works

/anyblades/buildawesome-kit/refs/heads/main/core/features/virtualPages.js :

import { readFileSync } from "fs";
import YAML from "js-yaml";

export default function ($config) {
  // Virtual pages
  const pages = YAML.load(readFileSync($config.directories.input + "/pages.yaml", "utf8"));
  for (const [index, data] of pages.entries()) {
    const virtualSlug = data.permalink ? data.permalink + "index" : index;
    // console.log(data, virtualSlug);
    $config.addTemplate("." + virtualSlug + ".md", "", data);
  }
}
