Data System

Curvea supports JSON data through the src/data folder.

Data can be loaded into templates with @load.

Data folder

src/data

Example:

src/data/site.json
src/data/posts.json
src/data/products/item-one.json

Loading data

@load site

This loads:

src/data/site.json

and exposes it as:

{{ site.name }}

Aliasing loaded data

@load posts as articles

This exposes the loaded value as:

articles

Loading folders

If the source maps to a folder, Curvea loads all .json files in that folder as an array.

Example:

@load products

If src/data/products exists, the result is an array sorted by filename.

Folder item slugs

When loading a folder of JSON files, if an item is an object and does not already contain slug, Curvea adds the file name as slug.

Example:

src/data/products/coffee-cup.json

becomes:

{
  "slug": "coffee-cup"
}

plus the JSON file contents.

Wildcard folder map

@load settings/*

This loads JSON files in src/data/settings as a map keyed by file name.

If aliased:

@load settings/* as settings

then the map is available as settings.

Without an alias, keys are merged into the current scope.
