front-matter

build coverage npm github

Sauce Test Status

Extract meta data (front-matter) from documents.

This modules does not do any IO (file loading or reading), only extracting and parsing front matter from strings.

This concept that was originally introduced to me through the jeykll blogging system and is pretty useful where you want to be able to easily add meta-data to content without the need for a database. YAML is extracted from the the top of a file between matching separators of "---" or "= yaml =". It will also extract YAML between a separator and "...".

Install

With npm do:

npm install front-matter

Example

So you have a file example.md:

---
title: Just hack'n
description: Nothing to see here
---

This is some text about some stuff that happened sometime ago

NOTE: As of front-matter@2.0.0 valid front matter is considered to have the starting separator on the first line.

Then you can do this:

var fs = require('fs')
  , fm = require('front-matter')

fs.readFile('./example.md', 'utf8', function(err, data){
  if (err) throw err

  var content = fm(data)

  console.log(content)
})

And end up with an object like this:

{
    attributes: {
        title: 'Just hack\'n',
        description: 'Nothing to see here'
    },
    body: '\nThis is some text about some stuff that happened sometime ago',
    frontmatter: 'title: Just hack\'n\ndescription: Nothing to see here'
}

Methods

var fm = require('front-matter')

fm(string)

Return a content object with two properties:

  • content.attributes contains the extracted yaml attributes in json form
  • content.body contains the string contents below the yaml separators
  • content.frontmatter contains the original yaml string contents

fm.test(string)

Check if a string contains a front matter header of "---" or "= yaml =". Primarily used internally but is useful outside of the module.

Returns true or false

    fm.test(string) #=> true || false
