`modulePath`

(optional, type: string | Array<string>, default: undefined)

If you need to customize Netlify CMS, e.g. registering custom widgets or styling the preview pane, you'll need to do so in a JavaScript file and provide empress-blog-netlify-cms with the path to your file via the modulePath option.

ember-cli-build.js

  'empress-blog-netlify-cms': {
    modulePath: `${__dirname}/custom-netlify-script.js`
  }

The js file might look like this:

CMS.registerPreviewStyle("/example.css");

`publicPath`

(optional, type: string, default: "admin")

Customize the path to Netlify CMS on your Empress site.

`disableIdentityScriptInIndex`

(optional, type: boolean, default: false)

By default empress-blog-netlify-cms adds netlify-identity-widget to your index page of the project for netlify user activation mails to work. Pass false if you wish to disable this.
