[hakyll] Making a blog series, how to add a "posts in series" link list into a post based on metadata?

[j***@gmail.com]

I'm making a series of blog posts on the same topic, and I'd like each post
in the series to a full list of all posts in that series.

I thought about specifying this like this:

in post:

----
title: ...
series: series-name-1
----

Then either in my post markdown or in my post.html template, I'd somehow
insert a list of all the blog posts that contain series-name-1. Something
like $series_links("series-name-1")$ or alternatively, the list generation
would look at the posts series tags (if set) and filter the list
automatically.

I realize this is a little bit like tags. I tried to adapt something
like https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35645525/hakyll-says-dependency-cycle-detected/35651294#35651294
to get a list of posts when I'm rendering a post. But I've somehow painted
myself into a corner with this approach and can't get it to work (my code
match rules seem to always match the "versioned" posts and not the
non-versioned posts).

Anyone have any tips on how to implement something like this on Hakyll?

I found a reasonably OK solution by just moving the "posts in this series"
into a separate template and then expanding it conditionally based on a
"series" metadata value using a functionField

In case someone is curious about it, you can view the change here:
https://github.com/nurpax/blog/commit/9a80803d81c8b8bcd348a437599e3e72316ef872

An automatic "list all posts with series=<some value>" would still be nice.
