Jekyll::Prep

Prepare Jekyll page data using Ruby.

Installation

See Jekyll's documentation for installing Jekyll plugins.

Usage

1. Create a _prep directory in your Jekyll project.
2. Inside the _prep directory, create .rb files that correspond to your .md Jekyll pages. For example, if you have a /people/jill.md Jekyll page then create a _prep/people/jill.rb file.
3. Inside the .rb files, define subclasses of Jekyll::Prep::Script that define a prepare method that will receive an instance of Jekyll::Page. The subclass namespaces must align with the .rb file paths minus the leading underscore. For example, the file _prep/people/jill.rb should contain Prep::People::Jill.
4. Inside the prepare methods, do whatever you want to page.data.

# _prep/people/jill.rb

module Prep
  module People
    class Jill < Jekyll::Prep::Script

      def prepare(page)
        page.data['something new'] = 'was added during prep'
      end

    end
  end
end
