Is it possible to loop over subfolders in Jekyll?

Question

I'm currently trying to loop over a subfolder in Jekyll but I don't know whether this is possible.

My folder structure looks like this:

_includes

_layouts

_pages

   folder_1

   folder_2

index.html

For example, I want to reach folder_1 by a loop how can I do this?

{% for page in pages.folder_1 %}



//xyz



{% endfor %}

What I want is that I've a static page and on this page I want to display the title and the description of each page in one of the subfolders.

Could you please help me?

Avoid naming main folder with an underscore unless you are using the _posts folder.

Then filter posts or pages checking their path:

{% assign folder1 = site.pages | where_exp: "item" , "item.path contains 'folder1'"%}
{% for item in folder1 %}
{{item.title}}
{% endfor %}
