CobaltBlog

A simple, flexible markdown blog plugin for Cobalt Engine.

This plugin creates six routes:

context	method	route	description
web	GET	/blog/	The main public index
web	GET	/blog/read/{post_name}	An individual post
admin	GET	/admin/blog/	The admin index
admin	GET	/admin/blog/edit/{post}	Edit post content
apiv1	PUT	/api/v1/blog/update/{post}	API endpoint for modifying content
apiv1	DELETE	/api/v1/blog/{post}	API endpoint for modifying content

Both the routes /blog can be overridden by adding the following settings to your app's settings.json:

{
    "CobaltBlog_public_path": "/posts",
    "CobaltBlog_admin_path": "/posts",
    "CobaltBlog_update_path": "/posts"
}

Which would result in /blog/read/{post_name} becoming /posts/read/{post_name} and so forth.

More customization

You can also customize the behavior of the app by overriding other settings in your app's settings.json file:

{
    "CobaltBlog_main_index_title": "Blog Home", // The value of the <title/> tag
    "CobaltBlog_index_limit": 5, // The maximum number of posts to be displayed on the main index per page
}
