A metalsmith plugin for layouts

This plugin passes your source files to a template as contents and renders them with the templating engine of your choice. You can use any templating engine supported by consolidate.js. Pass options to metalsmith-layouts with the Javascript API or CLI. The options are:

engine: templating engine (required)
default: default template (optional)
directory: directory for the layouts, layouts by default (optional)
pattern: only files that match this pattern will be processed (optional)

Any unrecognised options will be passed on to consolidate.js. You can use this, for example, to disable caching by passing cache: false to consolidate. See the consolidate.js documentation for all available options.

Installation

$ npm install metalsmith-layouts

Origins

This plugin is a fork of metalsmith-templates. Splitting up metalsmith-templates into two plugins was suggested by Ian Storm Taylor. The results are:

metalsmith-in-place: render templating syntax in your source files.
metalsmith-layouts: apply layouts to your source files.
