Grids and multiple layouts?

[dhatcode]

What's the proper way to integrate any grid in layout/template? Should I edit md.js wrapper for this?

How can I have multiple layout option and how to switch between them right from markdown file?

What "layout: post" in all markdown files mean? Can I change layouts? How to manage them, where are they stored? Is there any other layouts beside "post"?

Hrrmm... the layout stuff in the frontmatter (for the starter-blog) were leftover from older version of things — I just removed them. They weren't being used for anything atm.

So you want to have multiple layouts for posts?

One way you can do that is add a layout: 'MY_LAYOUT' in your markdown files then in your md.js render function, check what layout is set and then return a different component e.g.

if (post.data.layout === `post`) {
  return <PostLayout {...post} />
} else if (post.data.layout === `something-else`) {
  return <SomethingElse {...post} />
}
