# generate time-focused json data suitable for TimelineJS, https://timeline.knightlab.com/docs/json-format.html
# includes all items in metadata that have a "date" field filled.
# current using relative_url due to jekyll bug, should be absolute_url in production!
# to just feature parent objects of compound objects, you will want to change the where_exp below to "where_exp: 'item','item.parentid == nil'"
