A way to disable auto route generation ?

[maxerbox]

I'm looking for a replacement for nuxtent, which is deprecated.
I was wondering if we could prevent auto generating routes based on the markdown file names ?

Thanks for getting in touch! I think I will add a generateRoutes option in the next release.

For now, there is a way but it feels hacky. Routes are generated like so:

routes.push(...collections[collection.name].files.map(({ data }) => data.path))

As you can see, the route for each file is actually stored in the front matter (data), which you can modify in serverTransform like so:

serverTransform (collection) {
  collection.forEach(({ data }) => {
    data.path = '/' // Some route which you do want to generate
  })
  return collection
}

If you've got any other suggestions of how Nuxt Markdown could replace Nuxtent, I'd really appreciate if you create another issue. Or if you want to help make Nuxt Markdown, I would love to get some other collaborators on board!

Thanks, for some reason, the generate.exclude option in nuxt.config.js did not skip them. This worked for me.

I will make sure to honour the generate.exclude option in the next release; I'll look for a better way to generate routes than I am at the moment.

To give you some context, I'm using one subfolder under ~/content for links, so I don't want to create routes for them.
