creep v0.2.2

creep

crawls metadata in files and directories.

$ creep "'microscopic' in tags or 'rainbows' in tags"  
a.md
b.js

installation

# npm install -g creep

usage

add front matters to the files you want to be searchable:

a.md:

---
tags:
  - rainbows
  - earthworms
---

# there are rainbows
and earthworms

b.js:

// ---
// tags:
//   - microscopic
//   - hummingbirds
// ---

console.log('and microscopic hummingbirds');

then just query the metadata:

$ creep "'microscopic' in tags or 'rainbows' in tags"  
a.md
b.js

creep uses coffeescript as the query language, but alternatives can be plugged in. lodash is available in queries as _.

creep looks for the first of the following metadata files in the directories it crawls, recursively merging the metadata into child directory and file metadata:

• .creep.yml
• .creep.yaml
• creep.yml
• creep.yaml
• .creep.json
• creep.json

config

creep's uses the config defaults given in creep.config, then merges these defaults with the first of these configs that it finds:

• ./.creeprc.yml
• ./.creeprc.yaml
• ./.creeprc.json
• $HOME/.creeprc.yml
• $HOME/.creeprc.yaml
• $HOME/.creeprc.json
