How to find the ID of a blog post on dev.to?

Unfortunately, dev.to does not display the ID of the blog post on the page. So once it's created, you can open your browser console (Usually F12 OR 'Option + ⌘ + J' (on macOS), or 'Shift + CTRL + J' (on Windows/Linux)) and paste the following code to retrieve the blog post ID:
$('div[data-article-id]').getAttribute('data-article-id')
If anyone knows of an easier way please help by submitting a PR here. :smile:

How to test locally with yarn?

• Install Yarn and navigate to the repo root. Run Yarn to download node_modules and dependencies described in package.json. This will also update / create yarn.lock

• package.json also contains some scripts that can then be run locally for prettier and embedme. Also used in the Github Action when a post is published
