content filtering based on today's date and published date frontmatter (draft content)

Is there some configuration available, to draft the content based on published date used as frontmatter?

By drafting content, I mean that the content is not visible on production build until marked published, while everything is visible in development mode.

I know that we can use a boolean published variable to filter content. But, just curious to know if there is some other way to publish content based on date variable and today’s date.

I couldn’t figure out how to avoid filtering in development mode.

This worked great. I made one small change for anyone reading this -

api.loadSource(store => {
  if (process.env.NODE_ENV === "production") {
    const posts = store.getContentType('Post')

    posts.data().forEach(node => {
      if (node.published !== true) {
        posts.removeNode(node.id) // must remove by node id
      }
    }
  }

I wanted to see drafts locally. This way only my deployment server which I set NODE_ENV in build lambda too “production”.

@khrome83 Sure 😃

As a workaround, for now, you can get the content type and remove the node in the loadSource hook. loadSource in your gridsome.server.js file will be executed after plugins so the content type should exist.

api.loadSource(store => {
  const posts = store.getContentType('Post')

  posts.data().forEach(node => {
    if (node.published !== true) {
      posts.removeNode(node.id) // must remove by node id
    }
  })
})
