How to list all posts with full content
Step 1: How to create a layout
Before taking an official step on adding the code to list your posts on your site with full content, you need to know How to create a layout that will display the posts.
In _layouts directory, create a new file called home.html and add the following logic:
---
layout: default
---
{{ content }}
<ul class="myposts">
{% for post in site.posts %}
<li><a href="{{ post.url }}">{{ post.title}}</a>
<span class="postDate">{{ post.date | date: "%b %-d, %Y" }}</span>
</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
Step 2: Create blog.md
Then, in your root directory, create a file called blog.md and specify the home layout:
---
title: Blog
layout: home
---
From that, contents of blog.md will be pushed into the {{ content }} tag in the home layout which will be pushed into the {{ content }} tag of the default layout.
Step 3: Generate post list
Now, just embark on creating the code to make your posts appear right on your page with full content of each post.
site.posts directory contains all of the posts and helps you show them on your own homepage. Therefore, it is basically a matter of iterating over it. If you want to show the entire content of this post, you have to add exactly the following code:
...
{% for post in site.posts %}
<article>
<h2>
<a href="{{ post.url }}">
{{ post.title }}
</a>
</h2>
<time datetime="{{ post.date | date: "%Y-%m-%d" }}">{{ post.date | date_to_long_string }}</time>
{{ post.content }}
</article>
{% endfor %}
...
Your setting process is completed and it is ready for your customers to see all your posts with full content.
