Creates a directory with relative path ./YYYY (where YYYY is the value of
year) and copies the listing template at "./_templates/YYYY.qmd" to
YYYY.qmd and, for the latter, replaces YYYY with the value of year,
both in the file name and in the file itself. Additionally, an introduction
post and a _metadata.yml may be created. See Details for more information.
Arguments
- year
An integer representing the year, from 2015 to the current year. Defaults to the current year.
- intro
Logical. Whether to include an introduction post.
Details
The listing page, ./YYYY.qmd (where YYYY is the value of year) picks up
posts which are in the subdirectory ./YYYY/day (which echoes the URL
structure of the Advent of Code website). Note that the website will fail to
render if there are no posts under the day directory. To avoid that
problem, by default an introduction post introduction is created, assuming
that the directory ./_templates/YYYY-intro exists (which it does in the
website template
https://github.com/EllaKaye/advent-of-code-website-template.) If you don't
want an introduction post, set intro = FALSE. An introduction post can also
be created separately with aoc_new_intro() or deleted with
aoc_delete_intro(). Without an introduction post, note that you will need
at least one other post, e.g. through a call to aoc_new_day() before
rendering the website.
Additionally, if there is a file ./_templates/_metadata.yml, this will be
copied into ./YYYY/day/_metadata.yml. This file is used to set the metadata
only for the posts in the day directory.
If there is no intro post and no _metadata.yml file, then only the
"./YYYY" directory will be created, not the subdirectory ./YYYY/day. The
latter will then be created on the first call to aoc_new_day() for that
year. In this case, the website will render after a call to aoc_new_year().
