Post generator -------------- [](#post-generator) Simply run this command to make a new article: ``` php artisan blog:new ``` Follow the instructions, and you'll have your first blog post ready in seconds. Anatomy of a post ----------------- [](#anatomy-of-a-post) Each post consists of a meta section (mandatory) and the content. You can use Markdown to enrich your post's format. To use markdown inside blade, simply invoke `@markdown` / `@endmarkdown`. Or, you can also add `.md` extension before `.blade.php` and skip the markdown calls. ``` {{-- title: Hello World! tags: blog, first post date: 18.03.2020 --}} Use blade to compose post content. @markdown **Or even use markdown** if you want. ### Isn't that great? @endmarkdown ``` Draft vs Published ------------------ [](#draft-vs-published) Let's say you're working on a long post and it's not production ready yet. Just do this: ``` {{-- ... other attributes draft: true --}} ... Your awesome content ... ``` Since you added the `draft` meta attribute, this post will be hidden in `production` environments. Meta Attributes are Dynamic --------------------------- [](#meta-attributes-are-dynamic) You can declare as many meta attributes as you want. ``` {{-- random_attribute: 51231 --}} ``` You can access your post's meta attributes like so: ``` $post->random_attribute; // 51231 ``` Force Clear Cache ----------------- [](#force-clear-cache) > php artisan blog:index Customizing Blogdown -------------------- [](#customizing-blogdown) You can change most things about Blogdown. To get started, publish the config: ``` php artisan vendor:publish --provider "Swiftmade\Blogdown\BlogdownProvider" ``` **Things you can customize** - Override views to change how your blog looks - Add list of authors to quickly load author meta - Format and content of post slugs - Enable/disable default routes. - Change date format. - And probably more... Format and content of post slugs -------------------------------- [](#format-and-content-of-post-slugs) By default, this is how a post's slug is built: ``` public function slug() { return Str::slug($this->view_name); } ``` If needed, you can override the `Post` model and build a better slug: ``` public function slug() { return Str::slug($this->date->format('Y-m-d') . ' ' . $this->title); } ``` Don't forget to register your custom `Post` model in `config/blogdown.php`!
