Metalsmith Project Images

npm version Build Status

A metalsmith plugin that can scan all images in subfolders and add it to a files metadata.

The idea

Let's say we want to show all images per project. Assume we have a folder structure like below:

projects/
|-- hello/
|	|-- hello.md
|	|-- images/
|		|-- image-1.png
|		|-- image-2.png
|-- world/
    |-- world.md
    |-- images/
        |-- beautiful-world.png
        |-- skyfall.jpg

This would be possible with the following configuration:

var Metalsmith = require('metalsmith');
var images = require('metalsmith-project-images');

var metalsmith = new Metalsmith(__dirname)
  .use(images({
    pattern: 'projects/**/*.md'
  })
  .build();

Combined with the collections metalsmith plugin, we can loop over each collection and have access to the images for each project.

{{#each project in projects}}
    <h1>{{project.title}}</h1>
    <ul>
        {{#each image in project.images}}
            <li><img src="{{image}}"/></li>
        {{/each}}
    </ul>
{{/each}}

Install

npm install --save metalsmith-project-images

Quick usage

var Metalsmith = require('metalsmith');
var images = require('metalsmith-project-images');
 
var metalsmith = new Metalsmith(__dirname)
  .use(images({
   pattern: 'projects/**/*'
  }))
  .build();

Api

var metalsmith = new Metalsmith(__dirname);
 
var defaultOptions = {
    authorizedExts: ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'svg', 'png', 'gif', 'JPG', 'JPEG', 'SVG', 'PNG', 'GIF'],
    pattern: '',
    imagesDirectory: 'images',
};
 
metalsmith.use(images(defaultOptions))
// or passing in no options will use the defaults
metalsmith.use(images())
One options object
var options = {
    authorizedExts: ['gif']
    pattern: 'memes/**/*.md',
    imagesDirectory: 'giphys',
}
Multiple options objects

It is possible to define multiple configuration objects.

var options = [
    // only add gif's to memes ;)
    {
        authorizedExts: ['gif']
        pattern: 'memes/**/*.md',
        imagesDirectory: 'giphys',
    },
 
    // add all images to its matching project
    {
        pattern: 'projects/**/*.md',
    },
 
    // add all images to its matching project with a different metadata key
    {
        pattern: 'projects/**/*.md',
        imagesDirectory: 'maps',
        imagesKey: 'maps',
    },
]

Options

name default description
pattern **/*.md pattern for files to scan images for
authorizedExts jpg, jpeg, svg, png, gif, JPG, JPEG, SVG, PNG, GIF allowed image extensions
imagesDirectory images directory inside the pattern to look for images to add
imagesKey images name of metadata key to hold images collection

Note:

  • If imagesDirectory does not exist, it is skipped and no collection will be created
