How Content Works

• Each top-level folder inside src/content/ is a content section.
• The current site includes one section: src/content/website/.
• Files in a section can be .md or .mdx.
• Each content file must include frontmatter with:

---
title: Page Title
description: Short summary
---

• index.mdx becomes the landing page for that section. Example: src/content/website/index.mdx maps to /website
• Any other file becomes a subpage under that section. Example: src/content/website/registration.mdx maps to /website/registration

Adding A New Content Subpage

To add a new page inside an existing section:

1. Create a new .md or .mdx file in the relevant folder under src/content/.
2. Add the required frontmatter:

---
title: New Page
description: What this page covers
---

3. Add the page body content.

Example:

src/content/website/account-recovery.mdx

This page will be available at:

/website/account-recovery

Adding A New Content Section

If you want a new group of subpages, create a new folder in src/content/ and then register it in config.

1. Create the folder and files

Example:

src/content/mobile-app/
├── index.mdx
└── notifications.mdx

index.mdx should describe the section landing page. Any additional files become subpages for that section.

2. Update src/content.config.ts

Add a collection for the new folder and export it:

const mobileApp = defineCollection({
  loader: glob({ base: "./src/content/mobile-app", pattern: "**/*.{md,mdx}" }),
  schema: articleSchema,
});

export const collections = {
  website,
  mobileApp,
};

3. Update src/config/content.ts

Add the new collection name so routing and navigation include it:

export const collectionNames = ["website", "mobileApp"] as const;

4. Run the site locally

npm run dev

Verify that:

• the new section appears on the home page
• the section index page loads
• the new subpages resolve under the expected URL path

Contributor Notes

• Keep one topic per file.
• Use index.mdx only for a section landing page.
• Prefer lowercase, hyphenated filenames for clean URLs.
• If you create a new top-level content folder, update both src/content.config.ts and src/config/content.ts.
