Nested Routes
The blog template supports posts in nested sub-folders. This helps in organisation and can be used to group posts of similar content e.g. a multi-part series. This post is itself an example of a nested route! It's located in the /data/blog/nested-route
folder.
How
Simplify create multiple folders inside the main /data/blog
folder and add your .md
/.mdx
files to them. You can even create something like /data/blog/nested-route/deeply-nested-route/my-post.md
We use Next.js catch all routes to handle the routing and path creations.
Use Cases
Here are some reasons to use nested routes
- More logical content organisation (blogs will still be displayed based on the created date)
- Multi-part posts
- Different sub-routes for each author
- Internationalization (though it would be recommended to use Next.js built-in i8n routing)
Note
- The previous/next post links at bottom of the template are currently sorted by date. One could explore modifying the template to refer the reader to the previous/next post in the series, rather than by date.
