Front matter

The front matter is used to define the metadata for the document on certain platforms. There should only ever be one instance of this document type in a document, and it will always be the first item in the document.

The MdFrontMatter document type takes in an input of a class inheriting from IFrontMatter.

Each non-null property of the class will be added to the front matter in yaml format, e.g.

---
Title: My Document
Description: My document description
LastUpdate: 
  Date: 2020-01-01
  Author: arthur
---

CloudAwesome.MarkdownMaker doesn't provide any default implementations of IFrontMatter, so you have to create your own to define the data model required for your front matter, e.g.

public class MyFrontMatter: IFrontMatter
{
    public string Title { get; set; }
    public string Description { get; set; }
    public LastUpdate LastUpdate { get; set; }
}

public class LastUpdate
{
    public string Date { get; set; }
    public string Author { get; set; }
}

Some implementations of IFrontMatter are provided in extension libraries, e.g. CloudAwesome.MarkdownMaker.Docusarus for the Docusaurus Blog, Docs and Pages APIs. See further documentaton in Platform extensions
