metalpress-cli

CLI for Metalpress (Official)

Structure and Templating

metalpress works from a specific directory structure. It contains a templates and src directory. Within the src directory it will load data from data as yaml or json files. You can create folders for collections and use markdown files for pages. You should store all assets in assets.

For templating, metalpress uses liquid. You can learn more about the syntax here.

Here's an example structure:

├── package.json
├── src
│   ├── data
│       ├── site.yaml
│       ├── projects.json
│   ├── assets
│       ├── sass
│       ├── img
│       ├── fonts
│       ├── js
│           ├── index.js
│   ├── index.md
│   ├── pages
│       ├── about.md
│   └── posts
│       ├── 2016-08-25-how-to-use-metalpress.md
├── templates
│   ├── _includes
│       ├── header.liquid
