Create files based on prismic query results.

Hi,

I have one more question, how metalsmith can loop the prismic for example blog posts and create .md file for each?

Here is example how to loop metalsmith collection, but how i can loop prismic query? http://www.gelatindesign.co.uk/blog/post/creating-a-blog-with-metalsmith/

I've been thinking about adding this functionality into the plugin itself. Perhaps something like a source file that has the Prismic YAML containing

• the query to the collection of documents (eg. blog posts)
• configuration of how to generate the URL

This one file could then generate the multiple files based on the collection returned by the query.

Exactly! I had been thinking about the same solution, that would be great.

Do you plan to make it this days?

I need to publish 1 site in few days so i don't know what i should do, make files manually or wait for feature. :)

Thanks

Hello,

Great job!

I have tried and its working wonderful but when i want to use link resolver nothing happen.

.use(prismic({
        "url": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
        "linkResolver": function(doc) {
            return '/news/' + doc.slug;
        }
    }
    ))

Also i have tried your code from test folder.

"linkResolver": function (ctx, doc) {
                    if (doc.isBroken) return false;
                    return '/' + doc.type + '/' + doc.slug + (ctx.maybeRef ? '?ref=' + ctx.maybeRef : '');
                }

And still nothing happen..

It builds always by default linkresolver funcion.
