@cs125/gatsby-source-filesystem-frontmatter

Adds support for reading frontmatter from any file to gatsby-source-frontmatter.

Install

npm i @cs125/gatsby-source-filesystem-frontmatter

Use

Review the documentation and examples from gatsby-source-frontmatter.

gatsby-source-filesystem-frontmatter adds a frontMatter option to gatsby-source-filesystem.

// In your gatsby-config.js
module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `@cs125/gatsby-source-filesystem-frontmatter`,
      options: {
        // options from gatsby-source-filesystem are supported
        name: `data`,
        path: `${__dirname}/src/data/`,
        ignore: [`**/\.*`], // ignore files starting with a dot
        frontMatter: true, // read frontmatter from files in this directory
      },
    },
  ],
}

Options

If the frontMatter option is set to true, gatsby-source-filesystem-frontmatter will attempt to read YAML front matter from each file using gray-matter.

Given the following file:

---
author: Geoffrey Challen
---

= Test

This is a test. This is only a test.

You can query attributes defined in its front matter like this:

{
  allFile {
    edges {
      node {
        frontMatter {
          author
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Or, if you are using a page query to get Asciidoc content, for example, your query will look like this:

export const pageQuery = graphql`
  query($id: String!) {
    asciidoc(id: { eq: $id }) {
      document {
        title
      }
      parent {
        ... on File {
          frontMatter {
            author
          }
        }
      }
      html
    }
  }
`

Example

This repository contains a minimal example Gatsby site that uses @cs125/gatsby-source-filesystem-frontmatter to extract frontmatter and gatsby-transformer-asciidoc to transform Asciidoc files. Note that the extra babel.config.json file in the root of the repository is needed to allow both the example Gatsby site and plugin to share the same repository.
