metalsmith-swig-helpers

A metalsmith plugin to add helpers to swig.

At the moment all it does is provide a {{varName|slug}} filter using _.string

Suggestions are welcome, implementing https://www.npmjs.com/package/swig-extras is next.

Installation

$ npm install --save git://github.com/madeofpeople/metalsmith-swig-helpers

CLI Usage

Install the node modules and then add the metalsmith-swig-helpers key to your metalsmith.json plugins before your metalsmith-templates call.

{
  "plugins": {
    "metalsmith-swig-helpers: {},
    "metalsmith-templates": "swig"
  }
}

Javascript Usage

For the simplest use case, just pass your templating engine:

var swigHelpers = require('metalsmith-swig-helpers');
var templates = require('metalsmith-templates');
metalsmith
.use(swig-helpers)
.use(templates('swig'));

Filters

Add your own filters dynamically with either a function, or a require() string.

var swigHelpers = require('metalsmith-swig-helpers');
var templates = require('metalsmith-templates');
metalsmith
.use(swig-helpers({
  filters: {
    // Append a ! at the end of the given content.
    // {{ title|exclamation }}
    "exclamation": function(content) {
      return content + "!"
    },

    // Encryption filter
    // {{ title|xorcrypt }}
    "xorcrypt": "xor-crypt" // Does a require() on "xor-crypt"
  }
}))
.use(templates('swig'));
