Adding a Blog
Initial Setup #
To setup your site's blog, start by creating a blog
folder within your repo's website
directory.
Then, add a header link to your blog within siteConfig.js
:
headerLinks: [ ... {blog: true, label: 'Blog'}, ... ]
Adding Posts #
To publish in the blog, create a file within the blog folder with a formatted name of YYYY-MM-DD-My-Blog-Post-Title.md
. The post date is extracted from the file name.
For example, at website/blog/2017-08-18-Introducing-Docusaurus.md
:
--- author: Frank Li authorURL: https://twitter.com/foobarbaz authorFBID: 503283835 title: Introducing Docusaurus --- Lorem Ipusm..
Header Options #
The only required field is title
; however, we provide options to add author information to your blog post as well.
author
- The text label of the author byline.authorURL
- The url associated with the author. This could be a Twitter, GitHub, Facebook account, etc.authorFBID
- The Facebook ID that is used to extract the profile picture.title
- The blog post title.
Summary Truncation #
Use the <!--truncate-->
marker in your blog post to represent what will be shown as the summary when viewing all blog published blog posts. Anything above <!--truncate-->
will be part of the summary. For example:
--- title: Truncation Exmaple --- All this will be part of the blog post summary. Even this. <!--truncate--> But anything from here on down will not be. Not this. Or this.
