Coming in Markata 0.9.1 is far better documentation. i.e. Documentation that
actually exists for everything. As part of poking around I realized that I
often go to look up the docs for a plugin and forget that the path is
/markta/plugins/feeds, sometimes I might try /markata/feeds or
/plugins/feeds.py or /feeds or I might even forget the plugin name exactly
and try something like feed and get a 404. So I added a didyoumean plugin
to markata that takes care of this.
Happy Path
direct forward
If you have one post called /markata/plugins/feeds, and it is the only post
called feeds, any combination of /markata/feeds or /plugins/feeds or
/feeds will all automatically redirect with an html page (not a server 3xx)
to the /markata/plugins/feeds post.
Here is the snippet that does the redirect.
<div class="container mx-auto px-4 py-8"> <h1 class="text-2xl font-bold mb-4">Redirecting...</h1> <p class="mb-4">You will be redirected to <a href="/markata/plugins/feeds" class="text-blue-500 hover:underline">/markata/plugins/feeds</a></p> <script>window.location.href = "/markata/plugins/feeds";</script> </div>
You won't see it unless you are on a really bad network, or you have js disabled, but this is what it would look like if you ever saw it. Notice there is a backup link if you have js disabled.
Multiple Similar Posts
list of options
If you have multiple posts called didyoumean from different directories, in
the video I made a clashing post at /markata/cli/didyoumean with
/markata/plugins/didyoumean. If you go to /didyoumean it will notice that
there are multiple options and present you with a list of all of the potential
pages that match.
Finally No Matches
404.html
Last ditch effort is to implement a 404 page. This page will know all of the
possible paths in your project and give you a list of all the similar pages
more like a traditional didyoumean plugin.
