Bridgetown Publish Future-dated Content Option

Today, I spent a couple of hours troubleshooting why a new Bridgetown collection item wasn’t appearing during local development. The item needed to be published next week so I had given it a date for this coming Monday.

I thought the issue was with the collection setup, but then it finally dawned on me that Bridgetown might not display items with future dates. After some digging, I found the configuration option of future: true that allowed me to toggle this behavior so I could see the item from the new collection.

# bridgetown.config.yml

collections:
  foo:
    future: true
