Frontmatter

Each Markdown document on the site starts with YAML frontmatter. You can edit the frontmatter to customize the generated page and its metadata.

As a minimum, a title and description are required for each page.

---
title: Build a Flutter app
description: >-
  Learn how to build a basic Flutter app with interactive code samples.
---

Layouts, templates, and source files can access values from the frontmatter as top-level data with templating.

For example, the following frontmatter sets a showData variable to value:

---
# ...
showDate: false
---

The configured value of showDate can be accessed in templates:

If you add a new value to the frontmatter, prefer using lowerCamelCase for the name.

Besides title and description, the sites support a variety of other optional fields to customize page generation.
