It turned out to be as simple as importing the json file directly. What pointed me in that direction was this Stack Overflow 


I also discovered basePath config option which is useful for github pages. I also read that getStaticProps uses caching so it would be a better option in that sense rather than importing the json file directly. But that would apply if I was running my app as a server app.

A lot of places tell you JSX expressions must have one parent element and show you how to use fragments and short syntax with empty tags but they don't explain why there is this "limitation". This blog post explains it.


I found this React explainer video useful


And this is the end result I wanted to achieve. A listing of all my blog posts deployed to github pages

The success of failure

By
It is 358am and I have decided to write. Context matters. Our context matters when we write and read. We could read the same thing and get different meanings. Definitions matter also.

Kindance

It is 250am and I have decided to write. Today is Friday. Fridays are the best days of the week. Of course I do not have a topic to write about. I was scrolling through facebook and one post said "In any season we can always plant kindness". Then a nearby post said "My Lord has always been kind to me".

I was scrolling through youtube and I came across a video that said that "Life has always been unfair". That is one way to look at it. Another way is to consider that this life is just a test and stepping stone for the other life. Ma...
