DocPad: Automatically set custom Meta Data for items in a Collection

docpad.coffee

# Define our Configuration
docpadConfig =

	# Define our own Collections
	collections:

		# Posts
		# Anything outputted to the posts directory can be considered a post
		# Sort the posts by newest first
		# And set their layout to `post` automatically if it isn't already set
		posts: (database) ->
			database.findAllLive({relativeOutDirPath:'posts'},[date:-1]).on('add', (document) ->
				document.setMetaDefaults(layout:'post')
			)
			# instead of database, you can also use @getCollection('documents') or whatever
			# if the content you are filtering are just documents (will be faster if this is the case)


# Export our Configuration
module.exports = docpadConfig
