Supported content types

In Amagaki, you can mix and match content types depending on the file type that
is best suited for your data. For example, typically long-form content such as
blog posts will be authored as Markdown. Pages assembled by mixing and matching
modules will be YAML files (containing a list of partials used on a page).

Amagaki supports the following content types:

• JSON
• MD
• YAML

All "long-form" content types support front matter. Front matter is used to
define additional metadata for documents, and can be used to specify a
document’s URL, template, or other properties.

Here’s what a Markdown document with front matter may look like:

---
title: Hello World
date: 2019-01-06
description: This was my first day!
--- 
## My story
Hello, everyone. This is my story.

Here’s what a blueprint (_collection.yaml) may look like:

$path: /posts/${doc.date}/
$view: /views/base.njk

In the above example, the blueprint is declaring that:

• All documents in the collection should be rendered with the
  /views/base.njk template.
• All documents in the collection should be generated to the path:
  /posts/${doc.date}/

In this example, to add a new post to your site, you simply add a new Markdown
file within the collection’s folder.

If your project has the following structure, it will then generate three pages.
The pages all use the $path settings specified in _collection.yaml.

.

    ├── pages
        ├── _collection.yaml
        ├── about.yaml
        ├── contact.yaml
        └── index.yaml
