metalsmith-include v0.0.2

metalsmith-include

Make the contents of other source files as properties on a metalsmith file object. Can be used as a rudimentary partial system for metalsmith-templates.

Example

index.md:

Note the lack of extension on thanks - this provides maximum flexibility, since you may have a markdown parser that converts thanks.md to thanks.html, and this plugin will search for any extension if none is provided

---
template: home.jade
include:
  thanks: thanks
---

### Welcome to my website!

home.jade:

.main
  !=contents

  !=thanks

thanks.md:

---
template: thanks.jade
partial: true
---

#### Thanks for visiting!

thanks.jade:

.thanks
  !=contents

Output:

<div class="main">
  <h3>Welcome to my website!</h3>

  <div class="thanks">
    <h4>Thanks for visiting!</h4>
  </div>
</div>

Installation

$ npm install metalsmith-include

Options

The only option is deletePartials, which tells metalsmith-include whether or not to remove files that are included in other files, and have a partial indicator in their front-matter. Defaults to true.

CLI Usage

Install via npm and then add the metalsmith-include key to your metalsmith.json plugins with your options passed as an object:

{
  "plugins": {
    "metalsmith-include": {}
  }
}

Javascript Usage

Pass options to the include plugin and pass it to Metalsmith with the use method:

var include = require('metalsmith-include');

metalsmith.use(include());
