This repo contains an implementation of site attributes via Streams, instead of global.json. On the Knowledge Graph side, this was accomplished by:
- Creating a site entity
- Adding a custom field (c_relatedSite) to the product entity type that relates the product with the site entity (example)
- Converting all static pages in the repo to stream-based pages
Typically by convention, all pages in Sites starter repos are divided into two directories - based on whether or not they rely on Streams:
- /pages - (holds static pages - e.g. index, about, etc.)
- /templates - (page templates for entity pages - e.g. location, product, faq, etc.)
This repo differs in that:
- all static pages defined in the /pages directory now rely on a Stream scoped to this saved filter (which contains a single site entity)
- all templates defined in /templates now include a reference to the site entity as a related field in frontmatter (refer to line 16)
Therefore, when a site entity is updated in KG, every single page template in the repo is affected, and therefore gets updated as a result.
The resulting deploy can be viewed in the platform here.
