Configuration

site.toml keys juicerwiki reads, per-note frontmatter, and the [juicerwiki] palette table.

juicerwiki reads its configuration from three places:

A small set of top-level site keys (the same ones every juicer theme uses, plus topnav and links).
A namespaced [juicerwiki] table for palette + typography overrides.
Per-note frontmatter — flat content tree, one note per file.

Quick example

title    = "Field Notes"
tagline  = "A reading wiki on computing"
author   = "ed"
baseURL  = "https://fieldnotes.example"
theme    = "juicerwiki"

[[topnav]]
label = "Tags"
url   = "/tags/"

[[topnav]]
label = "About"
url   = "/about/"

A minimal note (content/zettelkasten.md):

---
title: Zettelkasten
date: 2024-02-10
tags: [method, history]
summary: A note-taking method built around small atomic notes that link to each other.
---

Body in markdown. Link other notes liberally — `[Atomic Notes](/atomic-notes/)`
shows up in the linked note's backlinks panel automatically.

And a root index that opts into the home layout (content/_index.md):

---
title: Field Notes
layout: home
---

Optional intro paragraph shown above the tag cloud.

Top-level keys

Key	Type	Default	Notes
`title`	`String`	required	Brand text in topbar + footer; `<title>` element.
`tagline`	`String`	unset	Italic subtitle next to the brand in the topbar.
`description`	`String`	unset	Default `<meta name="description">`.
`author`	`String`	unset	Footer copyright line. Falls back to `title`.
`baseURL`	`String`	required	Standard juicer key.
`theme`	`String`	required	Set to `"juicerwiki"`.
`favicon`	`String`	unset	Path to a favicon.
`hideJuicerCredit`	`Boolean`	`false`	Set `true` to remove the “Built with juicer” line.
`topnav`	`[[topnav]]`	unset	Array of `{label, url}` entries shown in the topbar.
`links`	`[[links]]`	unset	Array of `{label, url}` entries shown in the footer.

Per-note frontmatter

Key	Type	What
`title`	`String`	Required — the note’s display name.
`date`	`String`	Controls home-page recency ordering. Also drives the Article JSON-LD `datePublished`.
`tags`	`List`	Single string or list. Each tag generates a `/tags/<slug>/` archive page.
`summary`	`String`	Shown on the home list, in `<meta name="description">`, and in other notes’ backlinks panels.

Client-side search

juicer auto-generates /search.json for every site — see Reference → Search for the field shape. juicerwiki ships a search partial that fetches it lazily on first modal open and runs an in-memory substring match. No backend, no API, no third-party service.
