Quartz can generate a list of recent notes based on some filtering and sorting criteria. Though this component isnā€™t included in any layout by default, you can add it by using Component.RecentNotes in quartz.layout.ts.

Customization

  • Changing the title from ā€œRecent notesā€: pass in an additional parameter to Component.RecentNotes({ title: "Recent writing" })
  • Changing the number of recent notes: pass in an additional parameter to Component.RecentNotes({ limit: 5 })
  • Display the noteā€™s tags (defaults to true): Component.RecentNotes({ showTags: false })
  • Show a ā€˜see moreā€™ link: pass in an additional parameter to Component.RecentNotes({ linkToMore: "tags/components" }). This field should be a full slug to a page that exists.
  • Customize filtering: pass in an additional parameter to Component.RecentNotes({ filter: someFilterFunction }). The filter function should be a function that has the signature (f: QuartzPluginData) => boolean.
  • Customize sorting: pass in an additional parameter to Component.RecentNotes({ sort: someSortFunction }). By default, Quartz will sort by date and then tie break lexographically. The sort function should be a function that has the signature (f1: QuartzPluginData, f2: QuartzPluginData) => number. See byDateAndAlphabetical in quartz/components/PageList.tsx for an example.
