Decap CMS Widget that allows you to create customizable permalinks easily.
Widgets are inputs for the Netlify CMS editor interface. It's a React component that receives user input and outputs a serialized value.
This widget allows you to create custom permalinks that can be used to generate pathnames for Decap CMS based websites. The widget mimics the behaviour of WordPress permalink input field automatically outputting correct slugs.
- Install the widget
npm install decap-cms-widget-permalink
yarn add decap-cms-widget-permalink
- Import the Permalink widget to your Netlify CMS setup file
import { Widget as PermalinkWidget } from 'decap-cms-widget-permalink';
- Register the widget for use
CMS.registerWidget(PermalinkWidget);
Inside the YML collecitons file you can use permalink as new widget
collections:
- name: "example"
label: "Example"
folder: "/path/to/your/folder"
create: true
slug: "{{slug}}"
fields:
- label: "Permalink",
name: "permalink",
widget: "permalink",
prefix: 'blog', // This allows to add a prefix to the correct url
url: 'http://example.com'
You can also use it as a JS object using Netlify CMS Manual Initialization
Example:
{
label: 'Permalink',
name: 'permalink',
widget: 'permalink',
required: true,
prefix: 'blog', // This allows to add a prefix to the correct url
url: 'http://localhost:8000',
hint: 'The post URL (do not include folder or file extension)',
},
This widget is using 2 custom items:
url -> is used to visualize and link to the page
prefix -> is used when you want to prefix some pages (i.e. blog will output -> /blog/your-slug/)
