Custom Twig file

You can create a custom twig file to render the results. To do this, create a new file in your templates folder called _needletail/[[BUCKET_NAME]].twig. This file will be used to render the search results. You can use the following variables in this file:

• entry - The record that will be rendered

Example:

{
   "title": "{{ entry.title }}",
   "slug": "{{ entry.slug }}",
   "url": "{{ entry.getUrl() }}",
   "date": "{{ entry.postDate|date('Y-m-d') }}",
   "author": "{{ entry.author }}"
}

Testing:

For easy testing you can create a new twig file in your templates folder [[BUCKET_NAME]].json.twig and add the following code:

{% set entry = craft.entries({id: [[ENTRY_ID]]}).one() %}

{% include "_needletail/[[BUCKET_NAME]].twig" %}

You can then call $PRIMARY_SITE_URL/[[BUCKET_NAME]].json in your browser to see the rendered result.

Note! Make sure to replace [[BUCKET_NAME]] and [[ENTRY_ID]] with the correct values.
