##API

###Single.html

You can use the following variables on this page:

      {{ url }} -- URL of the post.
      {{ title }} -- Title of the post.
      {{ email }} -- Email address of the author.
      {{ author }} -- Author's name.
      {{ postedOn }} -- Date posted.
      {{ content }} -- Content of the post.

###Index.html

This is the home page. By default it contains the 10 most recent posts. We are using nunjucks to render the page, and with that we are benefiting with their great features such as the for loop.

In this example we are going to loop through posts which is an object containing an array of blog posts

    {% for post in posts %}
      {{ post.url }}
      {{ post.title }}
      {{ post.email }}
      {{ post.author }}
      {{ post.postedOn }}
    {% endfor %}

###Pagination.html

For the pagination we have an API that will be used to detect the current page as well as the next page. We also check if whether or not the next page has a post.

<ul class="pager">
    {% if hasPrevious == true %}
    <li><a href="/page/{{prevPage}}">Previous</a></li>
    {% endif %}
    {% if hasNext == true %}
    <li><a href="/page/{{nextPage}}">Next</a></li>
    {% endif %}
</ul>
