New Tag tags: last used (date or number of days ago)

Hi,

To be honest I did not saw such feature in other blogging platforms and I am not sure if there is a sense to implement it as a common future.

I think that if you really really want – it is possible to create a custom helper which will return last used tags, but it will be a quite complex helper 😉

Hi again 🙂

I manage to make a helper that does what I want 😀 Or as you did say, a helper that returns a list of filtered tags.

// in index.hbs


    {{#each (filteredTags @website.contentStructure.tags 200 3)}} // filter away tags with fewer then 3 post and older then 200 days.
        {{name}}
    {{/each}}


// in helpers.js

function newerPostThen(post, numberOfDays) {
    let dateToday = new Date();
    let postDate = new Date(post.createdAt);
    let postDaysOld = (dateToday.getTime() - postDate.getTime()) / (1000 * 3600 * 24);
    return postDaysOld < numberOfDays;
}

let themeHelpers = {
    filteredTags: function(tags, numberOfDaysTreshold, numberOfPostTreshold) {
        var filteredTagsOutput = [];

        for (tagIndex in tags) {
            if (tags[tagIndex].postsNumber < numberOfPostTreshold && !newerPostThen(tags[tagIndex].posts[0], numberOfDaysTreshold)) {

            } else {
                filteredTagsOutput.push(tags[tagIndex])
            }
        }

        return filteredTagsOutput;
    }
};
module.exports = themeHelpers;

// in index.hbs

{{#each (filteredTags @website.contentStructure.tags 200 3)}}
    

        {{#each this}}
            {{name}}
        {{/each}}
    
{{/each}}


// in helpers.js

function newerPostThen(post, numberOfDays) {
 ... // No change
}

let themeHelpers = {
    filteredTags: function(tags, numberOfDaysTreshold, numberOfPostTreshold) {
        var filteredTagsOutput = [[],[]];
  
        for (tagIndex in tags) {
            if (tags[tagIndex].postsNumber < numberOfPostTreshold && !newerPostThen(tags[tagIndex].posts[0], numberOfDaysTreshold)) {
                filteredTagsOutput[1].push(tags[tagIndex])
            } else {
                filteredTagsOutput[0].push(tags[tagIndex])
            }
        }

        return filteredTagsOutput;
    }
};
module.exports = themeHelpers;
