Store template context on data attributes in static HTML, allowing metadata to be retrieved/updated post-render.
Install
Install with npm:
npm i attribute-store --save-dev
Usage
var attrStore = require('attribute-store');
This is foo.html:
---
title: Home
---
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
this is the body
</body>
</html>
.set()
To store the YAML front matter from foo.html in data attributes:
// Read the file in as a string
var str = fs.readFileSync('foo.html');
// pass the string to attribute-store
var store = attrStore(str);
To store the data from the front-matter in data attributes (by default data is stored on data-metadata on a script tag with the metadata id):
store.set();
console.log(store.html);
Results in:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
this is the body
<script type="text/x-metadata" id="metadata" data-metadata="{\"title\":\"Home\"}"></script></body>
</html>
.get()
Get the data:
store.get('metadata');
id
Set a custom id:
store.set('foo');
// to get the data:
store.get('foo');
extend
YAML front matter is stored by default. If an object is passed any existing front-matter will be extended.
If front-matter doesn't exist, just pass an object to store:
store.set({name: 'Jon Schlinkert'});
Results in:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
this is the body
<script type="text/x-metadata" id="metadata" data-metadata="{\"name\":\"Jon Schlinkert\"}"></script></body>
</html>
Or with a custom id:
store.set('foo', {name: 'Jon Schlinkert'});
Results in:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
</head>
<body>
this is the body
<script type="text/x-metadata" id="foo" data-metadata="{\"name\":\"Jon Schlinkert\"}"></script></body>
</html>
