Popular content - Nera plugin
This is a plugin for the static side generator Nera to create list(s) with
popular content. It could be used for different puposes, like deciding which content should be shown in a simple
list or maybe in a content slider on your homepage or just teasers with content from different pages.
You can define within the plugins config/popular-content.yaml file which properties it should recognize and how it
should order the content.
Usage
The first thing you need to do is to place this plugin in the src/plugins folder of your nera project.
In addition you need to define which property or properties the plugin should recognize in your markdown files. As
an example you could set up the following in the plugins config/popular-content.yaml file:
properties:
- meta_property_name: is_home_teaser
order: descIf you then provide the property is_home_teaser with a number (to sort the different elements) in the markdown
file you want to add, like this:
---
title: Your page title
description: Your page description
is_home_teaser: 1
...
The plugin will collect the pages which have is_home_teaser in their meta section and provide their meta data and
content in app.popularContent.is_home_teaser to your view.
You can then loop through e.g. app.popularContent.is_home_teaser and render it as a list or use it in a teaser
markup or what ever you like. Please find two template examples in the plugins views/ folder.
