Beta Features!

We run new functionality in an open beta format from time to time. That means that this functionality is totally available for use, and we think it might be ready for primetime, but it could break or change without notice.

Use these features at your own risk.

Summary string template transformations

You can apply transformations on fields in a summary string template using filter notation syntax.

Example config:

collections:
  - name: 'posts'
    label: 'Posts'
    folder: '_posts'
    summary: "{{title | upper}} - {{date | date('YYYY-MM-DD')}} – {{body | truncate(20, '***')}}"
    fields:
      - { label: 'Title', name: 'title', widget: 'string' }
      - { label: 'Publish Date', name: 'date', widget: 'datetime' }
      - { label: 'Body', name: 'body', widget: 'markdown' }

The above config will transform the title field to uppercase and format the date field using YYYY-MM-DD format. Available transformations are upper, lower, date('<format>'), default('defaultValue'), ternary('valueForTrue','valueForFalse') and truncate(<number>)/truncate(<number>, '<string>')
