Collections

Collections let us inject data into page templates by loading the data assigned to pages or from a folder of files.

Use collections to load from data providers, create indices and define queries that are assigned to page templates and perform more advanced tasks like generating synthetic pages for each document in a collection or paginating large collections.

If you want to dive straight in take a look at the site settings for the blog blueprint or read more in this section which looks in detail at how to create and use collections.

The term synthetic is used to refer to generated pages that do not have a corresponding source file.
