Static-content-api NPM

static-content-api

Read directories of markdown and yaml files and output some json. Does not process markdown into html (yet?).

Outputs

Keys are sorted so files are more git friendly if tracking changes. Try jsonArgs: { spaces: 2 } in options to make commits cleaner.

Index Summary File

Creates a big file with all the content of all the content types.

Collection Files

A file with just the items from that collection or content type.

Schema File

Creates a json-schema file based on the input.

OpenAPI File

Future: Creates an openapi file based on the input.

Example Usage

import processContent from "static-content-api";

processContent({
  parentDir: 'content',
  outputDir: 'public/data',
})
