Adding Custom Data to Ghost CMS

I am migrating my site from Jekyll to Ghost due to unsupported code as my site contains a lot of posts (~ 2500). Since Jekyll uses YAML

frontmatter, I can add my own key value pairs to it. I would like to do the same with Ghost.

I will not add content to the post as there is very little difference between all posts. As such, I plan to access the data in the template post

and render it at runtime with help Handlebars.js

, which will avoid code repetition and improve maintainability.

I'm going to use the API to add new posts and so I'm wondering if it has an option. I have searched for this problem but I cannot find it. I am using it sqlite

as a database.

Ghost (v0.6.4) does not currently support custom values. You will need to either make changes to Ghost, add these custom key values ​​to the post template, or wait for Ghost Apps .
