Yancy::Backend::Static This Yancy::Backend allows Yancy to work with a site made up of Markdown files with YAML frontmatter, like a Statocles site. In other words, this module works with a flat-file database made up of YAML + Markdown files. Schemas You should configure the "pages" schema to have all of the fields that could be in the frontmatter of your Markdown files. This is JSON Schema and will be validated, but if you're using the Yancy editor, make sure only to use the types Yancy supports. Limitations This backend should support everything Yancy::Backend supports, though some list() queries may not work (please make a pull request). Future Developments This backend could be enhanced to provide schema for static files (CSS, JavaScript, etc...) and templates. INSTALLATION This is a Perl module distribution.
