Blog Collection

Table of Contents

Working with the blog collection:

The blog collection is found in src/content/blog.

📁 /src/content/blog
└── 📁 post-1
      └── 📄 index.md
└── 📁 post-2
      └── 📄 index.mdx

In the above example, two blog posts will be generated with the folder name representing the slug.

  • https://example.com/blog/post-1
  • https://example.com/blog/post-2

Provide metadata

Metadata is required for each post.
