Add the functionality to create new data files for the data folders (frontMatter.data.folders).

  • Create a new property to turn on data file creation
  • Add a create new data folder button on the dashboard
    • If only one data folder is configured, use that one and ask for the name of the file
    • If multiple are configured, ask to which folder you want to create the data file and provide the name

In the 10.4 BETA you can give it a try.

I have added the following properties on the frontMatter.data.folders setting:

  • enableFileCreation: Defines if you want to enable file creation for the folder
  • fileType: The file type to create the new file. Only json or yaml are supported.
{
  "frontMatter.data.folders": [{
    "id": "data",
    "path": "[[workspace]]/data/authors",
    "singleEntry": true,
    "enableFileCreation": true,
    "fileType": "json",
    "schema": {
      ...
    }
  }]
}

Once configured, you'll see the following new experiences/elements.
