short updates on what we do at CarbonPlan

This repository contains our directory of blog posts and announcements. Browse at carbonplan.org/blog.

The site is a Next.js project, deployed on Vercel.

to build the site locally

Assuming you already have Node.js installed, you can install the build dependencies as:

npm install .

To start a development version of the site, simply run:

npm run dev

and then visit http://localhost:4001/blog in your browser.

posts

New posts should be added to posts/ with the post content exported from posts/{post-name}.md.

components

Beyond the default set of components available to each post, extra components (e.g. figures and tables) must be configured using the components key in the MDX frontmatter. Any named exports corresponding to the name key will be considered first, followed by the default export.

components:
  - name: ComponentName
    src: ./path/to/component

You may also use components imported from external packages. For example,

components:
  - name: Sun
    src: '@carbonplan/icons'

You may also specify an exportName that is distinct from the name used for reference within MDX. For example,

components:
  - name: ThemedLink
    src: theme-ui
    exportName: Link

To wire through components for availability in MDX, you can start a development version of the site or explicitly run:

npm run build-components
