@metalsmith/drafts v1.3.0

@metalsmith/drafts

A metalsmith plugin to hide drafts. Metalsmith will not build a page that is marked as draft.

Installation

NPM:

npm install @metalsmith/drafts

Yarn:

yarn add @metalsmith/drafts

Usage

Pass the plugin with any options to metalsmith.use.

import drafts from '@metalsmith/drafts'

metalsmith.use(drafts()) // same as { include: false }
metalsmith.use(drafts(true)) // same as { include: true }
metalsmith.use(drafts({ default: false, include: false })) // same as default

Add draft: true to your files' YAML front-matter to mark them as drafts:

---
title: My post
draft: true
---

To build pages that are marked as draft during development, you can use the Node environment and include the draft page in the build accordingly.

const inDevelopment = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development'

metalsmith.use(drafts(inDevelopment))

Default value for draft

You can instruct @metalsmith/drafts to mark files as draft by default if they don't have a draft property in their front-matter:

import drafts from '@metalsmith/drafts'

metalsmith.use(
  drafts({
    default: true
  })
)

Debug

To enable debug logs, set the DEBUG environment variable to @metalsmith/drafts*:

metalsmith.env('DEBUG', '@metalsmith/drafts*')

Alternatively you can set DEBUG to @metalsmith/* to debug all Metalsmith core plugins.
