html-matter v0.1.1

html-matter

Install

yarn add html-matter

Usage

By default you can use @frontmatter at the beginning of the comment to indicate that its content is front-matter:

const htmlMatter = require('html-matter')

htmlMatter(`
<!-- @frontmatter title: Hello World -->
`)
//=> yields:
{ title: 'Hello World' }

// multi-line
htmlMatter(`
<!-- @frontmatter
title: Hello
tags:
  - js
  - es6
-->
`)
//=> yields:
{
  title: 'hello',
  tags: ['js', 'es6']
}

Use a custom namespace instead of frontmatter:

htmlMatter(`
<!-- @config
port: 3000
-->
`, { namespace: 'config' })
//=> yields:
{ port: 3000 }

Use a custom parser instead of Yaml:

htmlMatter(`
<!-- @config {
  "port": 3000
} -->
`, { namespace: 'config', parse: JSON.parse })
//=> yields:
{ port: 3000 }

If no front-matter was found, it returns null.
