## Adding Content

Adding content to the directory can be done using one of the following formats:
+ markdown
+ json
+ csv
+ notion
+ google sheets
+ airtable

Remember that listings will not be shown on the live website until the site is re-built and deployed. This is done to ensure the fastest possible performance by serving static html, css and js.

### Using markdown listings:
1. add markdown files to the `src/data/directory` folder. All markdown files will be automatically loaded as listings.
2. You must specify required properties of a listing such as title and description in the [frontmatter]() of the file

### Using json listings:
1. add a single json file: `src/data/directory/directory.json`
2. in this json file, the root element is an array. This array can contain objects which are the listings of the directory. These require the properties of `id`, `name` and `description`.

### Using csv listings:
1. add a single csv file: `src/data/directory/directory.csv`
2. add rows to this csv file, these require the properties of `id`, `name` and `description`.

### Using google sheets listings:
1. Create a [google sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/) document.
2. You need to select your table and click `Format > Convert to table`
3. Make it publicly shareable. When you share the link. copy the id
4. Go to `settings.toml`, here you need to set the `source=sheets` and `key = ` the copied id of the file

Use this spreadsheet as a starting point: [directory google sheet data](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BKVVFysQT8ZuPY8hUp--jwTrN-U20TrtML0idECIWmc/edit?usp=sharing)

### Using notion listings:

### Using airtable listings:


## Customization

+ Change the `--color-primary-x00` variables, `--color-gray-x00` variables in the `src/styles/global.css`
+ Change the font:
  + install from [fontsource]()
  + import font in `BaseLayout.astro`
  + change the `--font-sans` variable in `global.css`
+ Customize the `src/data/config/settings.toml` to your preferences.
