## Initial setup
To setup your site's blog, start by creating a `blog` directory.
Then, add a navbar link to your blog within `docusaurus.config.js`:
```js
links: [
...
{to: 'blog', label: 'Blog', position: 'left'}, // or position: 'right'
...
]
```
## Adding posts
To publish in the blog, create a file within the blog directory 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 `my-website/blog/2019-09-05-hello-docusaurus-v2.md`:
```yml
---
title: Welcome Docusaurus v2
author: Joel Marcey
author_title: Co-creator of Docusaurus 1
author_url: https://github.com/JoelMarcey
author_image_url: https://graph.facebook.com/611217057/picture/?height=200&width=200
authorURL: https://github.com/JoelMarcey
tags: [hello, docusaurus-v2]

Welcome to this blog. This blog is created with [**Docusaurus 2 alpha**](https://v2.docusaurus.io/).
<!--truncate-->
This is my first post on Docusaurus 2.
A whole bunch of exploration to follow.
```
## Header options
The only required field is `title`; however, we provide options to add author information to your blog post as well along with other options.
- `author` - The author name to be displayed.
- `author_url` - The URL that the author's name will be linked to. This could be a GitHub, Twitter, Facebook profile URL, etc.
- `author_image_url` - The URL to the author's thumbnail image.
- `author_title` - A description of the author.
- `title` - The blog post title.
- `tags` - A list of strings to tag to your post.
## Summary truncation
Use the `<!--truncate-->` marker in your blog post to represent what will be shown as the summary when viewing all published blog posts. Anything above `<!--truncate-->` will be part of the summary. For example:
```yml
---
title: Truncation Example
---
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.
```
## Feed
You can generate RSS/ Atom feed by passing feedOptions.
```ts
feedOptions?: {
type: 'rss' | 'atom' | 'all';
title?: string;
description?: string;
copyright: string;
language?: string; // possible values: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/struct/dirlang.html#langcodes
};
```
Example usage:
```js {9-12}
// docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
// ...
presets: [
[
'@docusaurus/preset-classic',
{
blog: {
feedOptions: {
type: 'all',
copyright: `Copyright © ${new Date().getFullYear()} Facebook, Inc.`,
},
},
},
],
],
};
```
Accessing the feed:
The feed for RSS can be found at
```text
https://{your-domain}/blog/rss.xml
```
and for atom
```text
https://{your-domain}/blog/atom.xml
```
## Advanced topics
### Blog-only mode
You can run your Docusaurus 2 site without a landing page and instead have your blog's post list page as the index page. Set the `routeBasePath` to be `'/'` to indicate it's the root path.
**Note:** Make sure there's no `index.js` page in `src/pages` or else there will be two files mapping to the same route!
```js {10}
// docusaurus.config.js
module.exports = {
// ...
presets: [
[
'@docusaurus/preset-classic',
{
blog: {
path: './blog',
routeBasePath: '/', // Set this value to '/'.
},
},
],
],
};
```
