README
An event listener to allow generating default category pages for the Jigsaw Blog template when an explicit page is not configured.
Install
composer require camuthig/jigsaw-blog-default-categories:dev-master@dev
Setup
Add the listener to the afterCollections phase of your blog's bootstrap.php
<?php // bootstrap.php $events->afterCollections(\Camuthig\Jigsaw\DefaultCategories\GenerateDefaultCategories::class);
How it Works
The listener waits for the collections to be built, it then goes through the posts and categories collections, determining which categories exist on the posts but do not have a file configured for them in the categories collection already.
From there, it creates a new collections configuration, adds it to Jigsaw's configuration, and reloads the collection
data.
Reloading all of the collection data is likely overkill. However, after spending more time than I wanted trying to create the appropriate data myself, I decided it was better to go this route.
Each of the default category pages is treated as a remote collection,
so an empty source/_defaultCategories directory will created after building the site.
