A question about the design of themes customization

[chawyehsu]

I was considering to migrate my Hexo blog to Gatsby, then I found this. It looks neat to me, and is similar to Hexo in some way. I haven't tried it yet, but here I want to ask a question (or like feature request?).

I saw the docs of customization of themes, it seems that we at least have to contain an index and a page templates/layouts, for a theme.

./theme
├── layouts
│   ├── 404.vue      # optional
│   ├── index.vue
│   ├── category.vue # optional
│   ├── tag.vue      # optional
│   ├── post.vue     # optional
│   └── page.vue
└── package.json     # optional

Files	Default Layout	Fallback Layout
homepage	index
source/_posts/*.md	post	page
source/*.md	page
(categories page)	category	index
(tags page)	tag	index

I'm just considering that why not making the page layout to be optional too, which likes Hexo.

Template	Page	Fallback
index	Home page
post	Posts	index
page	Pages	index
archive	Archives	index
category	Category archives	archive
tag	Tag archives	archive

Then at the very least, the theme(in most cases: a theme prototype) can just contain an index template/layout.

Just filing a question here, peco looks delicious, keep working! 👍

In fact you can already, if there's theme/layout.js or theme/layout.vue, it will leave the layout management to you. The docs are still work in progress, sorry about that 😅
