Custom directory listing

[vvscode]

As soon as it's possible to use front matter for files, it's nice to have an option, how to create listing HTML.

We can defined template (like default one ) but in fact it's not really customizable

Nice to have a chance to setup getListing module (file) to pass list of files inside and get HTML as a result

[vvscode]

Or add support for some plugins, so it might be implemented with plugin

@webpro please, take a look =)

I understand your issue (there's only pre-rendered HTML for list of files itself). We could add a list of file paths and file names, so you can create a custom Mustache template.

Would that work for you?

[webpro]

I just went ahead and refactored the current template to do the same (what was I even thinking by pre-rendering HTML outside the template, lol).

So now in v4.2.0 there's a filePaths and fileNames array to use in a custom template. See the current template for an example.

[vvscode]

actually, I was going to use frontmatter info from files (with title and description), so just filenames and paths is not enough for me

Do you see it useful?

[webpro]

Right.. yes I definitely see value in this. You (or someone else) up to work on a PR for this?

[vvscode]

I have it in the plan for the Christmas holidays =)

[vvscode]

Or not that far =)

[webpro]

Thanks again, @vvscode, a present for reveal-md users well in advance before Christmas :)

Is it also possible to reverse the order of the files listed?

Having the files saved as YYYY-MM-DD-title.md, and then reversing the order would place the most recent files at the top, which is a more reasonable behavior at least for me.

[vvscode]

@engeir not at the moment, but you can patch the package with patch-package

@vvscode Thanks, never heard about that before. Worked perfectly!
