A new parameter (p) on slideshow URLs accepts a relative path to a custom directory within a repo where PITCHME.* can be found for a given presentation. If (p) is not specified, the default behavior using the root directory within the repo is preserved.
This feature supports the creation and management of multiple presentations within a single repo (branch), potentially sharing common assets such as images, styles, etc.
The following changes were required to support this feature:
- Optional parameter (p) on slideshow urls
- Each (p) generates isolated print PDF
- Each (p) generates isolated offline ZIP
- Caching of YAML and Markdown is now (p) aware
Cache interval for print and offline bundles remains at 20 minutes for master branch. New shorter 20 second cache interval introduced for feature branches to improve developer experience.
SSM cache misses are possible when rendering markdown on print or offline calls as these calls can be made long after the slideshow itself has been rendered in the browser. To ensure YAML config options are always applied on rendering reconstitute SSM from YAML-on-disk if a cache miss occurs.
The GitPitch server has been updated with support for GitPitch slideshow presentations powered by PITCHME.md within GitHub, GitLab and Bitbucket public repos.
The git.repo.services property in application.conf can be used to register and configure custom GRS (Git Repo Services) for any GitPitch server deployment.
