Middleware for processing config templates in front matter. Can be used with verb, assemble v0.6.0 and greater, or any application based on jonschlinkert/templates.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save expand-front-matter

Usage

Works with assemble, verb, generate, update, or any Template-based application. Just replace assemble in the examples with your application of choice.

Preparation

This requires front-matter to be parsed in advance. You can easily do this with parser-front-matter like this:

var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();
 
// parse front matter on all `hbs` files
app.onLoad(/\.hbs$/, function(view, next) {
  matter.parse(view, next);
});

Middleware usage

Use as a middleware:

var expand = require('expand-front-matter');
var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();
 
app.onLoad(/\.hbs$/, expand(app));
app.pages('*.hbs');

Plugin usage

app plugin

Use as an "instance" plugin on app to expand templates in the front-matter of all views in all collections:

var expand = require('expand-front-matter');
var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();
app.use(expand());
 
app.pages('*.hbs');

Collection plugin

Use as a collection instance plugin to expand templates in the front-matter of all views in the collection:

var expand = require('expand-front-matter');
var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();
app.create('pages')
  .use(expand(app));
 
app.pages('*.hbs');

view plugin

Use as a view plugin to expand templates in the front-matter of a specific view:

var expand = require('expand-front-matter');
var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();
app.create('pages')
 
app.page('foo', {content: '...'})
  .use(expand(app))
  .render(function(err, res) {
    //=> do stuff to res
  });
