The metadata is just Elm data that you define however you want, using a Json Decoder to grab data out of your markdown frontmatter. ```elm import MyMetadata exposing (MyMetadata) head : BlogMetadata -> List (Head.Tag Pages.PathKey) head meta = Seo.summaryLarge { canonicalUrlOverride = Nothing , siteName = "elm-pages" , image = { url = PagesNew.images.icon , alt = meta.description , dimensions = Nothing , mimeType = Nothing } , description = meta.description , locale = Nothing , title = meta.title } |> Seo.article { tags = [] , section = Nothing , publishedTime = Just (Date.toIsoString meta.published) , modifiedTime = Nothing , expirationTime = Nothing } ``` ### Optimized for performance `elm-pages` has a set of features built-in to make sure your page is blazing fast on any device. - Automatic page pre-rendering - Page content is split up per-page so page content downloads and parses just-in-time - Page pre-fetching on link hover Try out `elm-pages`, open up Lighthouse, and see for yourself! Or check out https://elm-pages.com (find the source code in the [`examples/docs/`](https://github.com/dillonkearns/elm-pages/tree/master/examples/docs) folder). ## Built-in type-safety `elm-pages` generates static Elm data for you to make sure you don't have any broken links or images. The SEO API even uses it to make sure you are only pointing to valid images and pages so you have valid metadata! For example, if you have a content folder like this: ```shell - content - blog - index.md - hello-world.md - second-post.md ``` Then you will be able to access those pages in a type-safe way like this from Elm: ```elm -- this is a generated module -- it is re-run whenever your `content` folder changes -- just run `elm-pages develop` to start the watcher import Pages exposing (pages) import Pages.PagePath as PagePath exposing (PagePath) indexPage : PagePath Pages.PathKey indexPage = pages.blog.index helloPostPage : PagePath Pages.PathKey helloPostPage = pages.blog.helloWorld secondPost : PagePath Pages.PathKey secondPost = pages.blog.secondPost ``` ## Offline Support `elm-pages` uses pure elm configuration to setup your progressive web app settings. This includes a "source icon" which is used to generate your favicons and icons for the images following best practices for a progressive web app. The image is even a type-safe `ImagePath` that guarantees you are using an available image! ```elm manifest : Manifest.Config Pages.PathKey manifest = { backgroundColor = Just Color.white , categories = [ Pages.Manifest.Category.education ] , displayMode = Manifest.Standalone , orientation = Manifest.Portrait , description = "elm-pages - A statically typed site generator." , iarcRatingId = Nothing , name = "elm-pages docs" , themeColor = Just Color.white , startUrl = pages.index , shortName = Just "elm-pages" , sourceIcon = images.icon } ``` It will also take care of setting up a service worker which will automatically cache the basic shell for your application's compiled Elm code and HTML container. The page content is currently cached as it is loaded, but in the future there will be an API to choose some pages to "warm up" in the cache. ## What's next?
