BuildStatus DependencyStatus

Installation

$ npm install metalsmith-pooleapp

JavaScript usage

var pooleApp = require('metalsmith-pooleapp');
 
metalsmith.use(pooleApp({
    "forms": {
        "comments": {
            "secret": "theSecretKeyFromPooleApp",
            "identifier": "path",
            "filter": "foor == 2 or bar < 20"
        },
    }
});

The function exported by the metalsmith-pooleapp expects an object in parameter with a forms property. This property contains an object with an arbitrary number of sub-objects. Each one describing a PooleApp form and how the data will be available in Metalsmith:

  • the key (comments in this example) is used to register the data in the Metalsmith's metadata. Here, the collected data are available with: metalsmith.metadata().pooleapp.comments. If identifier is filled (see below), this identifier is also used to register the collected data under the file.
  • the secret is necessary to build the URL to fetch the data from PooleApp.com
  • the identifier is optional, it holds a property name. The plugin compares the value of this property in the file object and in the remote object and if they match, the remote object is added to the array available under the key (comments here)
  • the filter is optional, it allows to filter the PooleApp entries. It uses the filtrex expression engine.

If you use the metalsmith-permalink plugin, the identifier can set to path. By doing that and by adding the path in an hidden form field, the collected data are directly available in the file object where the form was filled.
