We really recommend you to prefix your content file with the date, so it will easy to sort and find your content. Lina automatically strip the date from the slug, so you don't need to worry about the url.
There are some functions that you can use to programmatically access your content.
Get all the content in a directory. The content will be sorted by the date in the filename.
foreach (lina()->index('post') as $post) {
echo $post->title;
}$post = lina()->get('posts/2020-11-01-hello.md');
Lina can be deployed to any static hosting provider. Here are some examples: Github pages, Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare pages, ...
So you please modify the file .github/workflows/deploy.yml to match your demand.
We also provide a configuration file for Cloudflare pages. You can find it in cloudflare-page.sh. You can modify it to
match your demand.
Also you need to change the Build configuration like this.
