Markedly

Turn a directory of Markdown files into JSON for your blog.

Usage

To use markedly, first add it to your project:

npm install --save markedly

Now you can use the markedly command:

node_modules/.bin/markedly

By default markedly compiles a directory of markdown, by default it looks in posts/, into a single dist/posts/index.json with file paths as keys. Below is an example of the JSON produced:

{
  "2017-01-17-lightweight-docker-images-for-go": {
    "title": "<h1 id=\"lightweight-docker-images-for-go\">Lightweight docker images for Go</h1>\n",
    "plainTitle": "Lightweight docker images for Go",
    "intro": "<p>On building lightweight Docker images for Go applications.</p>\n",
    "publishedAt": "17th January 2017",
    "publishedAtISO": "2017-01-17T00:00:00.000+00:00",
    "content": "<p>On building lightweight Docker images for Go applications.</p>\n<p>In my last article I wrote about <a href=\"/thoughts/2017-01-15-deploying-go-on-zeit-now\">deploying Go apps to Now</a>. I arrived at a solution that compiled a Go app inside a Docker container. This means that the Docker container needed to be built with all the dependencies necessary to compile Go code into something useful.</p>",
    "slug": "2017-01-17-lightweight-docker-images-for-go"
  }
}

You can also create lists of posts in your package.json:

{
  "markedly": {
    "lists": {
      "latestArticles": {
        "sort": "publishedAt",
        "reverse": true,
        "limit": 10
      }
    }
  }
}

When you next run node_modules/.bin/markedly it will now produce both dist/posts/index.json, along with dist/posts/latestArticles.json.

If you wanted a list of all articles sorted by day, you can skip the limit line.

{
  "markedly": {
    "lists": {
      "articlesArchive": {
        "sort": "publishedAt",
        "reverse": true
      }
    }
  }
}

This would produce a file called dist/posts/articlesArchive.json.
