DOC: How do we create references between two posts with markdown files

Hello and thanks for this project !

I’m trying to have a solid alternative to classical CMS with Gridsome and Netlify CMS. I’m new to the Jamstack world, but I’m really enjoying it and everything’s was going fine so far…

Now I struggle on the matter of relationship between 2 contents. I want to have a simple Homepage, with a highlighted link to another post.

With NetlifyCms, I can have Home.md, containing a field highlightedPost, with the Title from my blog2.md as value. highlightedPost: Mon Article 2

But I don’t know how can I get this specific node in my page-query in index.vue, since we can only access nodes from their ID

Netlify doesn’t know about graphQL IDs … I was thinking about something like:

1. Query my home.md and store highlightedPost value as a variable
2. Query AllBlogpost an filter the result by Title comparison with this variable

But I’m not sure how I can achieve that, and would like to know if there’s a cleaner way that I’m missing

Any clue could help me understand this, thank for your help !

In order to link a markdown post with another one, you need to link the route of that file. Example:

gridsome-project
  | - posts\
  | -- post-a.md
  | -- post-b.md

In your post-a.md you’ll need to use: [some text](/posts/post-b) and that should allow for a successful reference that users could use.

The route is the URL path that will lead a user to a particular page (e.g. https://some.site.com/posts/hello-world). Did you try navigating to http://localhost:8080/content/posts/light (assuming you have the dev server running on port 8080)?

So are you saying there is some config option somewhere that routes post filenames and titles to link URLs?

AFAIK, it’s only done internally but @robaxelsen or someone from the core team could shed a light on this.
