jekyll-meta-files
This plugin augments static files with YAML data / front matter in optional metafiles.
DISCLAIMER: The plugin is very simple and relatively specific as it was created for a certain project. It's also not under active development but if you have feedback or even a pull request I am happy to incorprate it.
The basic plugin code is based on the comment here
Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'jekyll-meta-files'
And then execute:
$ bundle install
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install jekyll-meta-files
Usage
The plugin will automatically augment all static files with additional YAML front matter from an assiciated metafile. The plugin looks for metafiles with the added extensions \*.meta.yml
in [documents_url]meta/
. The documents_url
(with trailing /) should be specified in config.yml
.
Development
After checking out the repo, run bin/setup
to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console
for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install
. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb
, and then run bundle exec rake release
, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem
file to rubygems.org.
