Pages Index

As Pages are loaded into the pipeline, they're added to a data structure called the PagesIndex.

As the name implies, the PagesIndex is a queryable index of Pages in the website. Pages might be queried for a number of reasons.

• The Jinja plugin uses the PagesIndex so that page templates can render HTML for groups of pages, such as the navigation menu on the documentation page that you're reading now.
• The RSS plugin inspects every Page in the PagesIndex to assemble the RSS feed for the website.
• The redirects plugin inspects every Page to find the ones that want to setup HTTP redirects.

The PagesIndex can be accessed through the StaticShockPipelineContext.
