Source AuthorBio photo, name, and bio from the Ghost author profile - #14
Merged
Conversation
The AuthorBio component on the home and about pages had a hardcoded placeholder circle and hardcoded name/bio strings, so updating the author photo required a code change and deploy. - Add getAuthor(slug) to the Ghost Content API client (authors/slug/ endpoint) and an authors field to GhostResponse - Add a useAuthor hook following the existing use-ghost patterns - AuthorBio now renders the Ghost profile image, name, and bio when present, falling back to the previous hardcoded content while the Ghost profile fields are empty or the API is unreachable - Component tests cover both the fallback and Ghost-data states The author can now update their photo and bio in Ghost Admin with no deploy; post footers already read the same profile.

Summary
The
AuthorBiocomponent (home + about pages) had a hardcoded placeholder circle and hardcoded name/bio strings, so changing the author photo meant a code change and deploy. This wires it to the Ghost author profile — the same source the blog post footers already use — so the photo and bio become editable in Ghost Admin with no deploy.getAuthor(slug)tosrc/api/ghost.ts(Content APIauthors/slug/endpoint) and anauthorsfield toGhostResponseuseAuthorhook insrc/lib/use-ghost.tsfollowing the existing hook patternsAuthorBiorenders the Ghostprofile_image/name/biowhen present, and falls back to the previous hardcoded content while the Ghost profile fields are empty (or if the Content API is unreachable) — so this is a no-op visually until the profile is filled inTesting
vitest run: 4 tests pass (2 new)authors/slug/will/and renders the fallback correctly while the profile is empty
