How do you link to a post (collection item)?

[nathangross]

From say an index view that shows a collection of posts, what is the proper way to link to each post? Something like $post->url or $post->slug or something?

    <ul>
        @foreach ($posts as $post)
            <li>
                <h2>{{ $post->title }}</h2>
                <a  href="{{ $post->url }}">
                    Read Now
                </a>
            </li>    
        @endforeach
    </ul>

Looks like it should be $post->getUrl(). I had tried that but it looks like if you don't have a layout set in your front matter (i.e. extends: _layouts.main), that will result in blank or null.

Just to clarify and close this out—from the docs:

$page->getUrl() returns the full URL to the item, if baseUrl was defined in config.php
