I want to add all my old articles to the Hugo posts list page.

Let's write some code.

* I can use the Archivarix sitemap as source
* Or I can use the sqlite database as source
* I want to add all the canonical pages to the list
* Sorted by reverse date of publication
* With the title

First, I discover that GoHugo handle override over files, if you have a file
in `/themes/<THEME>/static/js/jquery.min.js`, you can override it with a
file in `/static/js/jquery.min.js`. So I think I don't need a custom
theme, so let's remove that.


## Proof of concept with a sitemap

1. First I change the `index.php` and add a sitemap path to enable
sitemap generation in Archivarix loader.

1. Generate a sitemap `wget http://localhost:8080/sitemap.xml`

1. Then I discover sitemap doesn't have title in specification so it's a
dead end.

1. Place `sitemap.xml` in `/data/legacyblog/sitemap.xml`
1. Let's poc the change in our Hugo theme in `layouts/_default/list.html`

  ```html
      # Will load the file and parse it
      {{ range $.Site.Data.legacyblog.sitemap.url }}
      <li>
        <h2>
          <a href="{{ .loc }}">
            <svg
              class="bookmark"
              aria-hidden="true"
              viewBox="0 0 40 50"
              focusable="false"
            >
              <use href="#bookmark"></use>
            </svg>
            {{ .loc }}
          </a>
        </h2>
      </li>
      {{ end }}
  ```
I will not use this solution we can't have title with it.

## Proof of concept with webcrawl csv file

Some times ago, I develop a [little web crawler or spider](https://github.com/HugoPoi/webcrawler) that can list
all the urls and robot metadatas for a given website.

1. `npm install -g hugopoi-webcrawler`
1. `hugopoi-webcrawler http://localhost:8080 --progress` will create a file called `localhost_urls.csv`

  ```csv
  "url","statusCode","metas.title","metas.robots","metas.canonical","metas.lang","parent.url"
  "http://localhost:8080/",200,"HugoPoi – Internet, Hardware et Bidouille","max-image-preview:large",,"fr-FR",
  "http://localhost:8080/v2/",200,"HugoPoi Blog",,"http://localhost:1313/v2/","en","http://localhost:8080/"
  "http://localhost:8080/en/",200,"How to decrypt flows_cred.json from NodeRED data ? – HugoPoi","max-image-preview:large","http://localhost:8080/en/2021/12/28/how-to-decrypt-flows_cred-json-from-nodered-data/","en-US","http://localhost:8080/"
  ```
1. Then we put this file outside of data directory as mention in the
documentation of Hugo
1. Mod the template with CSV parse function
  ```html
      <!-- Loop against csv lines -->
      {{ range $i,$line := getCSV "," "./localhost_urls.csv" }}
      <!-- Fill variables with columns -->
      {{ $url := index $line 0 }}
      {{ $title := index $line 2 }}
      <!-- Skip csv head line and replytocom wordpress urls -->
      {{ if and (ne $i 0) (eq (len (findRE `replytocom` $url 1)) 0)}}
      <li>
        <h2>
          <a href="{{ $url }}">
            <svg
              class="bookmark"
              aria-hidden="true"
              viewBox="0 0 40 50"
              focusable="false"
            >
              <use href="#bookmark"></use>
            </svg>
            {{ $title }}
          </a>
        </h2>
      </li>
      {{ end }}
      {{ end }}
  ```

  This solution is promising.

## Refining the webcrawler and the theme mod

* Let's use JSON file instead of csv
* Filter only articles urls and order them by dates

First I add `--output-format json` option to my webcrawler.
<pre data-src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/HugoPoi/webcrawler/e4675502af9ee133c32a5fe49ceba433461a1c00/console.js" data-range="50,60" class="line-numbers"></pre>

The usage become :
```shell
hugopoi-webcrawler https://blog.hugopoi.net/ --output-format json --progress
> crawled 499 urls. average speed: 37.32 urls/s, totalTime: 13s
```
Now we can handle the data with `jq '. | length' blog.hugopoi.net_urls.json`

Now let's filter this file and order it.
* Remove replytocom duplicate urls and response error urls without title

    `jq '. | map(select((.metas.title != null) and (.url | test("\\?replytocom") == false))) | .[].url' blog.hugopoi.net_urls.json`

* Select only urls that contains a date pattern, because my wordpress
urls were built with `/YYYY/MM/DD/THE_TITLE` pattern.

    `jq '. | map(select((.metas.title != null) and (.url | test("(\\?replytocom|^https://blog.hugopoi.net/v2)") == false) and (.url | test("/[0-9]{4}/[0-9]{2}/[0-9]{2}/[^/]+/$")))) | sort_by(.url) | reverse' blog.hugopoi.net_urls.json > blog.hugopoi.net_urls.filtered.json`

* Remove ` – HugoPoi` from the titles

    `jq '. | map(.metas.title |= sub(" – HugoPoi"; "")) | .[].metas.title' blog.hugopoi.net_urls.filtered.json`

Now we have a proper [urls data source](https://home.hugopoi.net/gitea/hugopoi/blog.hugopoi.net/src/commit/681d85997a598e9de06820b2c6ccc1fbc4e128c6/v2/data/LegacyBlogUrls.json#L2-L32)
<pre data-src="https://home.hugopoi.net/gitea/hugopoi/blog.hugopoi.net/raw/branch/master/v2/data/LegacyBlogUrls.json" data-range="1,32" class="line-numbers"></pre>

## Override the Hugo Theme layout

We now have a `data/LegacyBlogUrls.json` file with all urls I want to
put in the blog posts index page.
I copied the original `themes/cupper-hugo-theme/layouts/_default/list.html` to `layouts/_default/list.html`.
<pre data-src="https://home.hugopoi.net/gitea/hugopoi/blog.hugopoi.net/raw/commit/681d85997a598e9de06820b2c6ccc1fbc4e128c6/v2/layouts/_default/list.html" data-range="30,48" class="line-numbers"></pre>
