Nested pages not working as described

[kylehodgson]

The fine manual here asserts that we can have page objects that themselves have pages arrays. However, it doesn't appear to be working for me at the moment.

Here's a semi-simplified version of my code, resulting site is here. Should this not work?

pages: [
    {
      name: "Electrified Aviation",
      pages: [
        {name: "Airports", path: "/airports"},
        {name: "Aircraft", path: "/activity", pages: [
          {name: "Pipistrel", path: "/oems/PIPISTREL"},
          {name: "Joby", path: "/oems/JOBY"},
          {name: "Beta", path: "/oems/BETA TECHONOLOGIES"},
          {name: "H55/BRM", path: "/oems/BRM AERO"},
        ]},
        {name: "About AirCharg.ing", path: "about"},
        {name: "AirCharg.ing Methodology", path: "methodology"},
        {name: "Subscribe", path: "https://aircharge.substack.com/subscribe"},
        {name: "Sneak peak: New data system", path: "/map"},
      ]
    }
]

Can you clarify what you expect to happen here, and how the actual behavior is different? I see that you’ve defined two sections, Electrified Aviation and Updates, and each section has a set of pages within. That seems to be functioning as intended. You can only have two levels of hierarchy: sections and pages. You can’t have subsections (sections within sections). As the docs say:

(Sections can only contain pages; nested sections are not currently supported.)

There is an opened feature request #1844 for nested sections.

apologies! I had the wrong example config pasted in, I've updated it.

What I'm expecting is the collapsible sections describe in the manual.

[mbostock]

For a collapsible section, you need to add open: false if you want it closed by default, or open: true if you want it open by default, as shown in the linked docs.

(Your config also has a nested section, which is unsupported as previously mentioned. You cannot have an Aircraft subsection, which is in the Electrified Aviation section; you can only have an Aircraft page.)

Thanks, this helped! I was trying to get the bolder font of a section header, this is what led me down the wrong path. It's working as described.
