metalsmith-npm

Metalsmith plugin to include npm modules in your globals.

Parameters

"metalsmith-npm": {
    <global variable to use>: <package name in npm to require()>
},

var npm = require('metalsmith-npm');
 
metalsmith.use(npm({
    _: "lodash",
    typogr: "typogr"
}));

This is equivalent to:

metalsmith.metadata({
    _: require("lodash"),
    typogr: require("typogr")
});

But is more concise and can be used with a CLI .json configuration, unlike the code above.

"metalsmith-npm": {
    "_": "lodash",
    "typogr": "typogr"
}

Then in your other files you may use the globals, e.g. in archive.jade:

block content
    - var lineHeight = 2.2;
    - var archives = _.chain(articles).groupBy(function(item) {
