load-options

load-options

Load Assemble options from a config file, object, glob patterns, or any combination of those. Fallback on defaults if options aren't defined, or you can override or extend the defaults.

Install

Install with npm:

npm i load-options --save-dev

Usage

.loadOptions ( options )

Load default options, or define an object or {json,yml} file to extend the defaults.

Example:

Use the defaults:

var assemble = require('assemble');
var opts = require('load-options');

// Override default layout with `blog` layout
assemble.options(opts({layout: 'blog'}));
assemble.task('site', function() {
  assemble.src(opts.src)
    .dest(opts.dest);
});

• options {Object}:
• return {Object}

Examples

Add options

Define new options by passing an object:

var options = require('load-options')({foo: 'bar'});

Reset options

If there is an option defined that you want to reset or "turn off", just pass an empty value:

var options = require('load-options')({plugins: []});

Override the default value with a new value:

var options = require('load-options')({plugins: ['foo/bar/*.js']});

Extend options

Extend the defaults by using lodash templates (e.g. keep the defaults AND add your own). Just reference a property on the _default object that corresponds to the option want to extend:

var loadOpts = require('load-options');
var options = loadOpts({
  plugins: ['<%= _default.plugins %>', 'foo/bar/*.js']
});

.assemblerc.yml

Extend the default options with user-defined options in .assemblerc.yml:

var options = require('load-options')('.assemblerc.yml');
