How to add file extension in url

[Montekkundan]

I was wondering how can i make the website url look like this:

www.website.com/test.md or www.website.com/test.mdx

instead of www.website.com/test

Hi @Montekkundan

Here I bring you a solution. There are a few other ways to achieve what you need. Please tell me if it works for you.

1- Go to this file https://github.com/onwidget/astrowind/blob/main/src/utils/posts.js#L3 and replace:

Before:

const ID = file.split('/').pop().split('.').shift();

After:

const ID = file.split('/').pop();

2- Go to this file https://github.com/onwidget/astrowind/blob/main/src/utils/permalinks.js#L21 and replace:

Before:

export const cleanSlug = (text) => slugify(trimSlash(text));

After:

export const cleanSlug = (text) => slugify(trimSlash(text), { custom: ['.'] })

You know @Montekkundan, with your question I've been thinking: "what if we add a settings to config.mjs with the slug pattern?"

Ex:

export const BLOG = {
  // (..)

  post: {
    disabled: false,
    pathname: '', // empty for /some-post, value for /pathname/some-post
    slugPattern: "%post_id%.md", // NEW PROPOSED SETTING
  },

  // (...)
};

Some of the frontmatter variables could be available as variables, example: %title% (with slugification), %category% (first if it is a list), %author% (first author) and some others generated as %year%, %monthnum%, %day%, %hour%, %minute%, %second%. All very similar to what Wordpress brings to configure the permalinks

The default slug pattern would be %post_id%

It's just an idea, we have to analyze it better so as not to complicate the template too much, what do you think?

the idea is great! will first try the steps you listed above and report back! busy right now with packing 😅 (shifting home). Will report as soon as possible!

Thanks for helping out
