Q: Get recent posts

[jjude]

Is it possible to get recent 5 or 10 posts from a page (say /about) as like <%recent_posts(10)%> ? I have searched through the document and couldn't find an answer.

thank you,

That's a good idea to write a helper plugin

You can take a look at the default theme:
https://github.com/hexojs/hexo-theme-landscape/blob/master/layout/_widget/recent_posts.ejs

However, I think it would be great to have a helper plugin.

I thought it would be great too, so I made one: https://npmjs.org/package/hexo-helper-recent_posts

In your theme : <%- recent_posts({ count: 10}) %>

Default options :

{
    count: 5,
    ulClass: 'recent_posts',
    liClass: 'recent_post'
}

Thank you @floriancargoet . Is there a way to use this in a page like About?

In hexo-theme-chenall, this feature is implemented.
install hexo-helper-recent_posts first and then use in posts.

{% ijs%} 
return recent_posts (); 
{% endijs%}
