yufrontin

lightweight yaml front matter extractor using yaml.js

The core of yaml.js is included within the lib directory. I did not feel the need to use the entire repo as a dependency when I would only use the core. This keeps the size of the project small. License file for yaml.js is included.

Installation

$ npm install yufrontin

Usage

yufrontin('---\ntitle: \'me\'\n---\nHello World')
// results in  -->
{ data: { title: 'me' }, content: 'Hello World' }
 
yufrontin('Hello World')
{ data: {}, content: 'Hello World' }

or you could do this:

var fs = require('fs')
var parsefm = require('parse-yuf')
 
var file = fs.readFileSync('some/file/to/be/read.md', 'utf8')
yufrontin(file)
 
parsefm('some/file/to/be/read.md')
 
 

API

yufrontin(inputString)

• inputString [String] data to be parsed by yaml.js
• return [Object]

Why?

Why another yaml front matter extractor? I wanted to try yaml.js.
