Middleware for renaming views based on front-matter properties.

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save middleware-rename-file

How it works

You can rename the destination path of a file using properties defined in its front-matter. Any of the path properties on a vinyl file should work.

Example

Given the source file, scaffolds/layouts/base.hbs:

---
rename:
  basename: default.hbs
  dirname: templates
---

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>{{title}}</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    {% body %}
  </body>
</html>

The generated destination path would be, templates/default.hbs.

Usage

This can be used with assemble, verb, generate, update or an other library that is based on templates.

.onLoad

The main export is a middleware function that should be passed to .onLoad to ensure that files are renamed as early in the render cycle as possible (so that when rendering begins, the actual file names are available on the context).

var rename = require('middleware-rename-file');
var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();

app.onLoad(/\.md$/, rename());

In addition to the regex provided to .onLoad, you may also optionally pass a filter function to rename():

Example

Don't modify a file with the name (stem) index:

app.onLoad(/\.md$/, rename(function(file) {
  return file.stem !== 'index';
}));
