Metalsmith Project Images
A metalsmith plugin that can scan all images in subfolders and add it to a files metadata.
The idea
Let's say we want to show all images per project. Assume we have a folder structure like below:
projects/
|-- hello/
| |-- hello.md
| |-- images/
| |-- image-1.png
| |-- image-2.png
|-- world/
|-- world.md
|-- images/
|-- beautiful-world.png
|-- skyfall.jpg
This would be possible with the following configuration:
var Metalsmith = require('metalsmith');
var images = require('metalsmith-project-images');
var metalsmith = new Metalsmith(__dirname)
.use(images({
pattern: 'projects/**/*.md'
})
.build();
Combined with the collections metalsmith plugin, we can loop over each collection and have access to the images for each project.
{{#each project in projects}}
<h1>{{project.title}}</h1>
<ul>
{{#each image in project.images}}
<li><img src="{{image}}"/></li>
{{/each}}
</ul>
{{/each}}
Install
npm install --save metalsmith-project-images
Quick usage
var Metalsmith = require('metalsmith');
var images = require('metalsmith-project-images');
var metalsmith = new Metalsmith(__dirname)
.use(images({
pattern: 'projects/**/*'
}))
.build();
Api
var metalsmith = new Metalsmith(__dirname);
var defaultOptions = {
authorizedExts: ['jpg', 'jpeg', 'svg', 'png', 'gif', 'JPG', 'JPEG', 'SVG', 'PNG', 'GIF'],
pattern: '',
imagesDirectory: 'images',
};
metalsmith.use(images(defaultOptions))
// or passing in no options will use the defaults
metalsmith.use(images())
One options object
var options = {
authorizedExts: ['gif']
pattern: 'memes/**/*.md',
imagesDirectory: 'giphys',
}
Multiple options objects
It is possible to define multiple configuration objects.
var options = [
// only add gif's to memes ;)
{
authorizedExts: ['gif']
pattern: 'memes/**/*.md',
imagesDirectory: 'giphys',
},
// add all images to its matching project
{
pattern: 'projects/**/*.md',
},
// add all images to its matching project with a different metadata key
{
pattern: 'projects/**/*.md',
imagesDirectory: 'maps',
imagesKey: 'maps',
},
]
