Jekyll & Liquid: Output category list with post count?

Question

I\'m somehow stuck and don\'t find the right way to do it.

I want to output a category list with the number of posts in each categorie.

I got this far: https://p

Answer 1

I have written a code snippet that not only shows post count in each category, but also navigates to the posts of a specific category which got clicked. I hope you find it helpful:

{% assign tags_list = site.categories %}  
  {% if tags_list.first[0] == null %}
    {% for tag in tags_list %} 
      
{{ tag | capitalize }} {{ site.tags[tag].size }}
    {% endfor %}
  {% else %}
    {% for tag in tags_list %} 
      
{{ tag[0] | capitalize }} {{ tag[1].size }}
    {% endfor %}
  {% endif %}
{% assign tags_list = nil %}


{% for tag in site.categories %} 
  
{{ tag[0] | capitalize }}
  

    {% assign pages_list = tag[1] %}  
    {% for post in pages_list %}
      {% if post.title != null %}
      {% if group == null or group == post.group %}
      
{{ post.title }}{{ post.date | date: "%B %d, %Y" }}
      {% endif %}
      {% endif %}
    {% endfor %}
    {% assign pages_list = nil %}
    {% assign group = nil %}
  
{% endfor %}
