I've a yaml file for frontmatter and mdoc to save the body data. But i'm getting error of mixed files. How do i use that in my content collection?
#Different files in content collection

Hi @verbal condor. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
Astro's content collections do not support a mix of content and data entries. This means you cannot have both .mdoc (content) and .yaml (data) files in the same collection. The error you're encountering, MixedContentDataCollectionError, is due to this restriction.
To resolve this, you should separate your content and data into different collections. For example, you could have one collection for your .mdoc files and another for your .yaml files. Each collection should be defined in your src/content/config.* file using the defineCollection() function, specifying the type as either 'content' or 'data'.
Here's an example of how you might define two separate collections:
import { z, defineCollection } from 'astro:content';
const blogContent = defineCollection({
type: 'content',
schema: z.object({
title: z.string(),
permalink: z.string().optional(),
}),
});
const blogData = defineCollection({
type: 'data',
schema: z.object({
title: z.string(),
permalink: z.string().optional(),
}),
});
export const collections = { blogContent, blogData };
In this example, blogContent would contain your .mdoc files, and blogData would contain your .yaml files.
For more information, you can refer to the Astro documentation on defining collections (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/content-collections/#defining-collections) and the Astro documentation on content collection errors (https://docs.astro.build/en/reference/errors/mixed-content-data-collection-error/#_top).

@keen vale im using keystaic. which generates these files within a same collection of the path i've given in their path value. Do you know a way i can give different paths where they should be saved in keystatic?

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
Keystatic allows you to define your content schema and specify the path where your content collection should be stored. However, based on the provided knowledge sources, it doesn't seem to support specifying different paths for different file types within the same collection.
In the Keystatic configuration, you define a collection and its path like this:
import { config, fields, collection } from '@keystatic/core';
export default config({
storage: {
kind: 'local',
},
collections: {
posts: collection({
label: 'Posts',
slugField: 'title',
path: 'src/content/posts/*',
format: { contentField: 'content' },
schema: {
title: fields.slug({ name: { label: 'Title' } }),
content: fields.markdoc({
label: 'Content',
}),
},
}),
},
});
In this example, all posts are stored in the src/content/posts/* directory. If you want to store different file types in different directories, you might need to define separate collections for each file type.
If you're already using content collections in your Astro project, you should update the schema above to match the collections defined in your existing schema.
For more information, refer to the Astro documentation on creating a Keystatic config file (https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/cms/keystatic/#creating-a-keystatic-config-file).

@keen vale regarding keystatic can i generate only json or yaml file. becuase What i've known it also generates a file for the body/content by default as mdoc.

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:
Based on the provided knowledge sources, Keystatic generates a .mdoc file for the body/content of a post by default. This is evident when you create a new post in the Keystatic Admin UI dashboard. After saving the post, a new .mdoc file is created in the src/content/posts directory for the new post.
Directorysrc/
- Directorycontent/
- Directoryposts/
- **my-first-post.mdoc**
The content of the .mdoc file is the Markdown content you entered when creating the post.
---title: My First Post---
This is my very first post. I am **super** excited!
However, the knowledge sources do not provide information on whether Keystatic can be configured to generate only .json or .yaml files instead of .mdoc files. You might want to check the official Keystatic documentation or reach out to their support for more information on this.
