yaml - Create categories in Jekyll _data? -

i need using _data in jekyll generate content.

let's want create directory displaying countries have blocked twitter , facebook. understand how query _data folder how create categories in _data .yml , query data?

let me try explain.

twitter blocked in turkey & iran i'd start (networks.yml in _data):

- network: twitter 

this stuck. don't understand if i'd want "tag" or "categorize" twitter this:

- network: twitter   blockedcountries: [turkey, iran, iraq]  - network: facebook   blockedcountries: [iraq, turkey] 

then i'd want pages @ mysite.com/turkey/ display networks tagged turkey. this:

{% network in site.data.networks %} {% if network.blockedcountries == turkey %}         <li>{{ network.network }} blocked in turkey</li> {% endif %} {% endfor %}`  display:   - twitter blocked in turkey  - facebook blocked in turkey 

appreciate , tip bitcoin if solved!

your yaml right. problem seems in if statement:

{% if network.blockedcountries == turkey %} 

network.blockedcountries array(a list) , therefore if statement needs this:

{% if network.blockedcountries contains "turkey" %}   <li>{{ network.network }} blocked in turkey</li> {% endif %} 

jekyll using liquid markup language templates. can read more possibilities here. maybe liquid case statement helpful further optimization.

here "full" solution:

my data in _data/networks.yml

- name: twitter   blockedcountries: [turkey, iraq, iran] - name: facebook   blockedcountries: [turkey, iraq] 

my liquid template in index.html

<ul>   {% network in site.data.networks %}     {% if network.blockedcountries contains "turkey" %}       <li>{{ network.name }} blocked in turkey!</li>     {% endif %}   {% endfor %} </ul>
