| | | - Style: `quartz/components/styles/explorer.scss` |
| | | - Script: `quartz/components/scripts/explorer.inline.ts` |
| | | |
| | | ## Advanced customization |
| | | |
| | | This component allows you to fully customize all of its behavior. You can pass a custom `sort`, `filter` and `map` function. |
| | | All functions you can pass work with the `FileNode` class, which has the following properties: |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz/components/ExplorerNode.tsx" {2-5} |
| | | export class FileNode { |
| | | children: FileNode[] // children of current node |
| | | name: string // last part of slug |
| | | displayName: string // what actually should be displayed in the explorer |
| | | file: QuartzPluginData | null // if node is a file, this is the file's metadata. See `QuartzPluginData` for more detail |
| | | depth: number // depth of current node |
| | | |
| | | ... // rest of implementation |
| | | } |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | Every function you can pass is optional. By default, only a `sort` function will be used: |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="Default sort function" |
| | | // Sort order: folders first, then files. Sort folders and files alphabetically |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | sortFn: (a, b) => { |
| | | if ((!a.file && !b.file) || (a.file && b.file)) { |
| | | // sensitivity: "base": Only strings that differ in base letters compare as unequal. Examples: a โ b, a = รก, a = A |
| | | // numeric: true: Whether numeric collation should be used, such that "1" < "2" < "10" |
| | | return a.displayName.localeCompare(b.displayName, undefined, { |
| | | numeric: true, |
| | | sensitivity: "base", |
| | | }) |
| | | } |
| | | if (a.file && !b.file) { |
| | | return 1 |
| | | } else { |
| | | return -1 |
| | | } |
| | | }, |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | --- |
| | | |
| | | You can pass your own functions for `sortFn`, `filterFn` and `mapFn`. All functions will be executed in the order provided by the `order` option (see [[#Customization]]). These functions behave similarly to their `Array.prototype` counterpart, except they modify the entire `FileNode` tree in place instead of returning a new one. |
| | | |
| | | For more information on how to use `sort`, `filter` and `map`, you can check [Array.prototype.sort()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort), [Array.prototype.filter()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/filter) and [Array.prototype.map()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/map). |
| | | |
| | | Type definitions look like this: |
| | | |
| | | ```ts |
| | | sortFn: (a: FileNode, b: FileNode) => number |
| | | filterFn: (node: FileNode) => boolean |
| | | mapFn: (node: FileNode) => void |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | > [!tip] |
| | | > You can check if a `FileNode` is a folder or a file like this: |
| | | > |
| | | > ```ts |
| | | > if (node.file) { |
| | | > // node is a file |
| | | > } else { |
| | | > // node is a folder |
| | | > } |
| | | > ``` |
| | | |
| | | ## Basic examples |
| | | |
| | | These examples show the basic usage of `sort`, `map` and `filter`. |
| | | |
| | | ### Use `sort` to put files first |
| | | |
| | | Using this example, the explorer will alphabetically sort everything, but put all **files** above all **folders**. |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | sortFn: (a, b) => { |
| | | if ((!a.file && !b.file) || (a.file && b.file)) { |
| | | return a.displayName.localeCompare(b.displayName) |
| | | } |
| | | if (a.file && !b.file) { |
| | | return -1 |
| | | } else { |
| | | return 1 |
| | | } |
| | | }, |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | ### Change display names (`map`) |
| | | |
| | | Using this example, the display names of all `FileNodes` (folders + files) will be converted to full upper case. |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | mapFn: (node) => { |
| | | node.displayName = node.displayName.toUpperCase() |
| | | }, |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | ### Remove list of elements (`filter`) |
| | | |
| | | Using this example, you can remove elements from your explorer by providing an array of folders/files using the `omit` set. |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | filterFn: (node) => { |
| | | // set containing names of everything you want to filter out |
| | | const omit = new Set(["authoring content", "tags", "hosting"]) |
| | | return !omit.has(node.name.toLowerCase()) |
| | | }, |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | You can customize this by changing the entries of the `omit` set. Simply add all folder or file names you want to remove. |
| | | |
| | | ### Remove files by tag |
| | | |
| | | You can access the frontmatter of a file by `node.file?.frontmatter?`. This allows you to filter out files based on their frontmatter, for example by their tags. |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | filterFn: (node) => { |
| | | // exclude files with the tag "explorerexclude" |
| | | return node.file?.frontmatter?.tags?.includes("explorerexclude") !== true |
| | | }, |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | ### Show every element in explorer |
| | | |
| | | To override the default filter function that removes the `tags` folder from the explorer, you can set the filter function to `undefined`. |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | filterFn: undefined, // apply no filter function, every file and folder will visible |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | ## Advanced examples |
| | | |
| | | > [!tip] |
| | | > When writing more complicated functions, the `layout` file can start to look very cramped. |
| | | > You can fix this by defining your functions in another file. |
| | | > |
| | | > ```ts title="functions.ts" |
| | | > import { Options } from "./quartz/components/ExplorerNode" |
| | | > export const mapFn: Options["mapFn"] = (node) => { |
| | | > // implement your function here |
| | | > } |
| | | > export const filterFn: Options["filterFn"] = (node) => { |
| | | > // implement your function here |
| | | > } |
| | | > export const sortFn: Options["sortFn"] = (a, b) => { |
| | | > // implement your function here |
| | | > } |
| | | > ``` |
| | | > |
| | | > You can then import them like this: |
| | | > |
| | | > ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | > import { mapFn, filterFn, sortFn } from "./functions.ts" |
| | | > Component.Explorer({ |
| | | > mapFn: mapFn, |
| | | > filterFn: filterFn, |
| | | > sortFn: sortFn, |
| | | > }) |
| | | > ``` |
| | | |
| | | ### Add emoji prefix |
| | | |
| | | To add emoji prefixes (๐ for folders, ๐ for files), you could use a map function like this: |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | mapFn: (node) => { |
| | | // dont change name of root node |
| | | if (node.depth > 0) { |
| | | // set emoji for file/folder |
| | | if (node.file) { |
| | | node.displayName = "๐ " + node.displayName |
| | | } else { |
| | | node.displayName = "๐ " + node.displayName |
| | | } |
| | | } |
| | | }, |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | ### Putting it all together |
| | | |
| | | In this example, we're going to customize the explorer by using functions from examples above to [[#Add emoji prefix | add emoji prefixes]], [[#remove-list-of-elements-filter| filter out some folders]] and [[#use-sort-to-put-files-first | sort with files above folders]]. |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | filterFn: sampleFilterFn, |
| | | mapFn: sampleMapFn, |
| | | sortFn: sampleSortFn, |
| | | order: ["filter", "sort", "map"], |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | Notice how we customized the `order` array here. This is done because the default order applies the `sort` function last. While this normally works well, it would cause unintended behavior here, since we changed the first characters of all display names. In our example, `sort` would be applied based off the emoji prefix instead of the first _real_ character. |
| | | |
| | | To fix this, we just changed around the order and apply the `sort` function before changing the display names in the `map` function. |
| | | |
| | | ### Use `sort` with pre-defined sort order |
| | | |
| | | Here's another example where a map containing file/folder names (as slugs) is used to define the sort order of the explorer in quartz. All files/folders that aren't listed inside of `nameOrderMap` will appear at the top of that folders hierarchy level. |
| | | |
| | | It's also worth mentioning, that the smaller the number set in `nameOrderMap`, the higher up the entry will be in the explorer. Incrementing every folder/file by 100, makes ordering files in their folders a lot easier. Lastly, this example still allows you to use a `mapFn` or frontmatter titles to change display names, as it uses slugs for `nameOrderMap` (which is unaffected by display name changes). |
| | | |
| | | ```ts title="quartz.layout.ts" |
| | | Component.Explorer({ |
| | | sortFn: (a, b) => { |
| | | const nameOrderMap: Record<string, number> = { |
| | | "poetry-folder": 100, |
| | | "essay-folder": 200, |
| | | "research-paper-file": 201, |
| | | "dinosaur-fossils-file": 300, |
| | | "other-folder": 400, |
| | | } |
| | | |
| | | let orderA = 0 |
| | | let orderB = 0 |
| | | |
| | | if (a.file && a.file.slug) { |
| | | orderA = nameOrderMap[a.file.slug] || 0 |
| | | } else if (a.name) { |
| | | orderA = nameOrderMap[a.name] || 0 |
| | | } |
| | | |
| | | if (b.file && b.file.slug) { |
| | | orderB = nameOrderMap[b.file.slug] || 0 |
| | | } else if (b.name) { |
| | | orderB = nameOrderMap[b.name] || 0 |
| | | } |
| | | |
| | | return orderA - orderB |
| | | }, |
| | | }) |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | For reference, this is how the quartz explorer window would look like with that example: |
| | | |
| | | ``` |
| | | ๐ Poetry Folder |
| | | ๐ Essay Folder |
| | | โ๏ธ Research Paper File |
| | | ๐ฆด Dinosaur Fossils File |
| | | ๐ฎ Other Folder |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | And this is how the file structure would look like: |
| | | |
| | | ``` |
| | | index.md |
| | | poetry-folder |
| | | index.md |
| | | essay-folder |
| | | index.md |
| | | research-paper-file.md |
| | | dinosaur-fossils-file.md |
| | | other-folder |
| | | index.md |
| | | ``` |
