A sidebar for a site template is a fun feature to have for folks. Many folks are accustomed to using a sidebar because of WordPress and Joomla templating.

We should have a simlar feature for our stack architecture.

A sidebar if enabled should allow various types of content to be used.

The types of these content can range from:

Embeded HTML
Newsletter Signup
Donations
Search Functionality
Videos
Songs
Article Lists

An editor or admin of a Strapi CMS interface should be able to manipulate the data on this sidebar and arrange it as he or she sees fit. The developer and designer of the Jekyll template will do most of the heavy lifting to allow these various types of content to exist.

All of this functionality are mostly HTML snippets from other media.

Jekyll is able to build content for a sidebar, but to use it with Strapi editors and authors, I will need to add a collection called sidebar as an example and allow various types of content to exist on that API structure.

Then, in Ruby, we pull this authenticated data into a index.json file and extrapolate all the data and inject it into our HTML templates and build it with Jekyll.
