GhostParser

A ruby plugin used to help evaluate the exported Ghost posts

Installation

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

$ bundle add ghost_parser

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

$ gem installghost_parser

Usage

To parse the export:

parser = GhostParser.new("path/to/export.json").parse

[
    {
        id: "id",
        title: "title",
        slug: "slug",
        html: "html",
        feature_image: "feature_image",
        created_at: "created_at",
        updated_at: "updated_at",
        published_at: "published_at",
        status: "status"
    }, ......
]

Ghost export content will have their links modified like __GHOST_URL__/image.jpg. If you want the content with active links provide your ghost url.

GhostParser.set_ghost_url("your ghost url")

Instead of getting all the fields we can define the necessary params with necessary keys

GhostParser.set_config({
  new_id: "id",
  name: "title",
  new_slug: "slug"
})

parser = GhostParser.new("path/to/export.json").parse

[
    {
        new_id: "id",
        name: "title",
        new_slug: "slug"
    }, ......
]

GhostParser.unset_config # Reverts back to default

Also supports the option of adding extra fields to parsed data

# Using blocks
parser = GhostParser.new(file_path).parse do |t|
          t[:user_id] = 12
        end

[
    {
        id: "id",
        title: "title",
        slug: "slug",
        html: "html",
        feature_image: "feature_image",
        created_at: "created_at",
        updated_at: "updated_at",
        published_at: "published_at",
        status: "status",
        user_id: 12
    }, ......
]

# Inline
parser = GhostParser.new(file_path).parse(
            {param_key: "123"}
          )

[
    {
        id: "id",
        title: "title",
        slug: "slug",
        html: "html",
        feature_image: "feature_image",
        created_at: "created_at",
        updated_at: "updated_at",
        published_at: "published_at",
        status: "status",
        param_key: "123"
    }, ......
]
