Discussed in https://github.com/estruyf/vscode-front-matter/discussions/715

Allow content to be created in a page bundle folder by specifying that the content is "sub-content". To support this, on the content type there should be two new properties introduced:

  • allowAsSubContent: Allows you to specify if you want to use the content type as a parent or create child-level content. This can be used in combination with the page pageBundle property. That way, you can create a hierarchy.
  • isSubContent: Specify this on the content-type if the content to be created with this is always going to be sub-content.

When the allowAsSubContent setting is enabled, the author should get the question to create it as sub-content or main content:

When yes is picked, or when the subContent property is set to true, the author will get a dialog to pick the folder from the content location:

First implementation is in place and it can be tested out with the latest beta version.

Example of a parent configuration which can be used for both creation as page bundle or sub-content:

{
  "frontMatter.taxonomy.contentTypes": [
    {
      "name": "parent",
      "pageBundle": true,
      "previewPath": null,
      "allowAsSubContent": true,
      "fields": [
        ...
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Example of a child configuration:

{
  "frontMatter.taxonomy.contentTypes": [
    {
      "name": "child",
      "pageBundle": true,
      "previewPath": null,
      "isSubContent": true,
      "fields": [
        ...
      ]
    }
  ]
}
