markdown-with-metadata-loader

markdown-with-metadata-loader

load markdown including yaml metadata with Webpack

returns data in an object with metadata and contents

const theMarkdown = require('somefile.md');
console.log(theMarkdown.metadata); // js object of parsed yaml metadata from the markdown file
console.log(theMarkdown.contents); // The actual, unprocessed markdown contents of the file

In the case of no yaml metadata, the metadata property will contain an empty object. Metadata should be delimited in the standard jekyll/markdown fashion, with a preceding and trailing lines with 3 hyphens, like so
