How to change output URL/permalink 'pattern' for all pages?

[kai687]

Is it possible to remove certain parts of the permalink 'path' for all pages?

For example, all my Markdown files are in a content/ folder in the input directory.
Let's say, I have a page ./content/about.md. This page will be available at /content/about/. What I want is /about/.

I know how to change the permalink for single pages, but I want to change that for every page inside the ./content directory, always removing the /content part from the URL.

Naïvely, I tried using a data file content.json, and place permalink: {{ page.url | replace('/content', '') | url }} inside. I get errors about duplicate permalinks.

If I use a js data file:

module.exports = {
  layout: "markdown",
  eleventyComputed: {
    permalink: (data) => data.page.url.replace("/content", ""),
  },
};

I get a Error: Dependency Cycle Found: page.url -> permalink -> page.url error.

Is that something that should work and I am doing something wrong, or is that currently not supported?

Ok, well: {{ page.filePathStem | replace('/content', '') | url }} seemed to have done the trick. Sorry for the spam.

I think I had to append a trailing / to the filePathStem locally to avoid having it create a "/contact" file vs a "/contact/index.html".

permalink: "{{ page.filePathStem | replace: '/content', '' | append: '/' | url }}"

And if I remember correctly, you might run into problems if you have a /content/index.md file since it will try creating a "/index/index.html" by default.
