Collections like posts and pages work as you'd expect. If you're new to them be sure to read [Jekyll's documentation](https://jekyllrb.com/docs/collections/).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The theme has been built with collections in mind and you will find [several examples]({{ "/collection-archive/" | relative_url }}) on the demo site ([portfolio]({{ "/portfolio/" | relative_url }}), [recipes]({{ "/recipes/" | relative_url }}), [pets]({{ "/pets/" | relative_url }})).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Collections in the Wild:** This set of documentation is also [built as a collection](https://github.com/{{ site.repository }}/blob/master/docs/_docs/) if you're looking for a fully fleshed out example to inspect.

A popular use case for collections is to build a portfolio section as part of one's personal site. Let's quickly walk through the steps to do that.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Step 1:** Configure the portfolio collection by adding the following to `_config.yml`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
collections:
|
||
|
|
portfolio:
|
||
|
|
output: true
|
||
|
|
permalink: /:collection/:path/
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These settings essentially say output `index.html` files for each portfolio document in `_portfolio` at `_site/portfolio/<document-filename>/`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Just like posts and pages you'll probably want to set some defaults for the Front Matter:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```yaml
|
||
|
|
defaults:
|
||
|
|
# _portfolio
|
||
|
|
- scope:
|
||
|
|
path: ""
|
||
|
|
type: portfolio
|
||
|
|
values:
|
||
|
|
layout: single
|
||
|
|
author_profile: false
|
||
|
|
share: true
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And then create portfolio content like [`_portfolio/foo-bar-website.md`](https://github.com/{{ site.repository }}/blob/master/docs/_portfolio/foo-bar-website.md), to end up with something like this.
|
||
|
|
|

![portfolio collection example]({{ "/assets/images/mm-portfolio-collection-example.jpg" | relative_url }})
