Content: dynamic

When a file in your content directory ends with .jinja, Blurry uses Jinja to transform that file, giving you lots of flexibility to build dynamic files based on your Markdown content.

Jinja files in your content directory have these context variables available:

• datetime: a Python datetime object
• settings: see Configuration: settings for more information
• file_data_by_directory: see Templates: context for more information

Example

For example, say we have blog posts in /content/blog/, and we have a content/blog/feed.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
{% with directory="blog", datetime_format="%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z", item_count=10 %}
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>
 <title>John Franey | Blog</title>
 <description>John Franey's blog feed</description>
 <link>https://{{ settings.DOMAIN }}/{{ directory }}/feed.xml</link>
 <copyright>{{ datetime.now().strftime('%Y') }} {{ settings.DOMAIN }} All rights reserved</copyright>
 <lastBuildDate>{{ datetime.now().strftime(datetime_format).strip() }}</lastBuildDate>

{% for page in (file_data_by_directory[directory])[0:item_count] %}
 <item>
  <title>{{ page.front_matter.headline }}</title>
  <description>{{ page.front_matter.abstract }}</description>
  <link>{{ page.front_matter.url }}</link>
  <guid isPermaLink="false">{{ page.front_matter.url }}</guid>
  <pubDate>{{ page.front_matter.datePublished.strftime(datetime_format).strip() }}</pubDate>
 </item>
{% endfor %}

</channel>
</rss>
{% endwith %}

It will output an RSS feed with the 10 most recent entries in the blog directory.
