metalsmith-copy-assets-540 v1.0.0

metalsmith-copy-assets

A Metalsmith plugin that copies assets into the metalsmith build. It can be used to copy entire folders or individual files.

##Forked by 540 to use as npm module

Usage

var copyAssets = require('metalsmith-copy-assets');

   Metalsmith(__dirname)
   
   .use(copyAssets(
      {
        src: 'bower_components/font-awesome/fonts',
        dest: 'theme/fonts'
      }
   ))
   
   .use(copyAssets(
      {
        src: [
           'bower_components/lunr.js/lunr.min.js', 
           'bower_components/jquery/dist/jquery.min.js'
           'bower_components/knockout/dist/knockout.js'
           'bower_components/momentjs/min/moment.min.js'
           ],
        dest: 'theme/scripts'
     }
  ));

This would result in the following files in the generated site:

• theme/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.ttf
• theme/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.svg
• theme/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.eot
• theme/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff
• theme/scripts/lunr.min.js
• theme/scripts/jquery.min.js
• theme/scripts/knockout.js
• theme/scripts/moment.min.js

You can use the plugin more than once to copy multiple items to different locations.

The src option is required, and can take either an array of file names, or a folder name. If it is a folder name, it will copy all the files in the folder.

Files in src should be specified relative to the folder Metalsmith is running from (i.e. __dirname in the example above).

The dest property should be a directory, and is specified relative to the metalsmith output folder (i.e. the build folder). If no dest property is specified, files will be copied into the build folder.

The plugin will generate an error if any of the files or folders are not found. Currently the plugin does not recursively copy folder trees. If you give it a folder name, it expects to find and copy only files in that folder.
