Jekyll Tagories

A Jekyll plugin that enhances site.tags and site.categories to include documents from user-defined collections and easily select documents based on a given tag or category.

Add jekyll-tagories to your Gemfile and then run bundle install on your terminal. However, if your site doesn't have a Gemfile, you may install it directly by running gem install jekyll-tagories.

To enable this plugin, add it to your configuration file before building your site:

plugins:
  - jekyll-tagories

Once enabled, {{ site.tags }} and {{ site.categories }} will include documents from your collections if they have been tagged or categorized via their front matter.

Note: The support for categories are limited to just the document's front matter and will not consider a document's superdirectories as categories like your posts.

The plugin also exposes two Liquid filters to ease handling of the grouped pages and documents:

• tagged — retrieve documents that are tagged.
  • input: an array of objects that have a data attribute.
  • optional parameter: a single tag name
  • examples:
    • {{ site.recipes | tagged }}
    • {{ site.recipes | tagged: 'cake' }}
• categorized — retrieve documents that are categorized.
  • input: an array of objects that have a data attribute.
  • optional parameter: a single category name
  • examples:
    • {{ site.recipes | categorized }}
    • {{ site.recipes | categorized: 'cakes' }}
