Markata list posts by year

I was looking back at my analytics page today and wondered what were my posts about back at the beginning. My blog is managed by markata so I looked at a few ways you could pull those posts up. Turns out it’s pretty simple to do, use the markata map with a filter.

from markata import Markata

m.map('title, slug, date', filter='date.year==2016', sort='date')

the filter is python eval that should evaluate to a boolean, all of the

Result #

[
    ('⭐ jupyterlab jupyterlab', 'jupyterlab-jupyterlab', datetime.date(2016, 12, 13)),
    ('⭐ nickhould tidy-data-python', 'nickhould-tidy-data-python', datetime.date(2016, 12, 9)),
    (
        '⭐ mikeckennedy write-pythonic-code-demos',
        'mikeckennedy-write-pythonic-code-demos',
        datetime.date(2016, 11, 22)
    ),
    (
        '⭐ mikeckennedy write-pythonic-code-for-better-data-science-webcast',
        'mikeckennedy-write-pythonic-code-for-better-data-science-webcast',
        datetime.date(2016, 11, 22)
    ),
    ('⭐ rajshah4 dlgroup', 'rajshah4-dlgroup', datetime.date(2016, 11, 18)),
    ('⭐ pandas-dev pandas', 'pandas-dev-pandas', datetime.date(2016, 10, 5))
]

You could use the list command as well right within your shell and the same map and filters work.

⬢ [devtainer-0.1.3] ❯ markata list --map title --filter='date.year==2016'
[22:35:06] 2088/2145 posts skipped                                                                       skip.py:36
           57/2145 posts not skipped                                                                     skip.py:37

You could also do it with jin right inside of a markdown post using the jinja_md plugin.

{% raw %}
{% for title, slug, date in markata.map('title, slug, date', filter='date.year==2016', sort='date') %}
* [{{title}}]({{slug}}) - {{date}}
{% endfor %}
{% endraw %}

You do have to `jinja: true` in the frontmatter of the post.

Result #

{% for title, slug, date in markata.map(’title, slug, date’, filter=‘date.year==2016’, sort=‘date’) %}

• {{title}} - {{date}} {% endfor %}
