Clarify use of date vs created field on pages and document it
We currently use created as date field even though our spec and most other implementations use date. I suggest created and date move to standard fields for all pages with date. date becomes default. Blog supports using date by default and falling back to created if not date (and this is a default for all pages). Semantics is that date is published/last updated date if different from created.
- NB: currently lacking a
createdwill lead to a build crash. Seems to me we should avoid this e.g. makecreatedrequired in contentlayer so error shows up there or use a default date (like today!) - I note this behaviour suggests having some internal computed field like "flowershowDate" which we use in our code
Tasks
- [ ] Shape this issue
- [ ] Implement the solution 😉
