Pages, Posts, and Templates enable you to add metadata like title, description, and keywords directly in the header of the file. It is a very powerful feature of Volcano, which give you the ability to modify parts of your site from within a Post, Page or Template.

You write metadata like so:

Pages & Posts

<!--
* Title: My new page or post
* Description: I am just a regular page or post
* Written: 01/01/20 10:40:39
-->

# This is pretty awesome.

It is a breeze to get started, and lovely to work with😉

Templates

<?php
/**
 * Title: All blog posts
 * Description: This is all blog posts on my website
 */

$app = require __DIR__ . '/../../app.php';

foreach ($app->getEntries('posts') as $post) {
  echo $post->link() . '<br />';
}

Retrieve metadata in a Theme

Later, when you want to show the meta data in your theme, you simply call the getMeta(string $type) method like so:

<?php
    $app = require __DIR__ . '/../../app.php';
?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>My site &mdash; <?php echo $app->getMeta('title');?></title>
    <meta name="description" content="<?php echo $app->getMeta('description');?>">
</head>
<body>
    <?php echo $app->render(); ?>
</body>
</html>
