Locations other than _data/

[pedromorgan]

Am creating a site which has json files in sub directories.. which contains the "data" already..

eg https://welsh-railways.gitlab.io/station/foobar/meta.json

Is there a way to access that without creating symlinks to the _data directory ?

Hey there, yes as per https://github.com/rosscdh/mkdocs-markdownextradata-plugin#using-external-data-files

tho it assumes only 1 path

umm that kinda not gonna work either I think..
Its the way am doing atmo, but with symlinks..

Ideally what would be perfect is from data in fm eg

---
title: More Data
xdata:
  - foo.json
  - bar: more_data.yml
---     

and in templates

<ul>
{% for rec in page.meta.xdata.foo %}
<li><a href="{{rec.path}}">{{rec.title}}</a></li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{{page.meta.xdata.bar.x}}
