stratic-decorate-files

Gulp plugin to decorate Stratic files with standard useful information

Installation

npm install stratic-decorate-files

Usage

To use this module, just pipe a stream of parsed Stratic posts into it. It's probably a bad idea to do this after you've added extra files into the stream, like e.g. templates.

Note: it's actually very important to use the values produced by this module. It's very easy to do, for example:

var date = new Date(post.data.time.epoch * 1000);
var month = date.getMonth();
// Etc.

but this is wrong because it doesn't take the UTC offset into account. If you rebuild your site in a different timezone, you may find that some posts - particularly those authored near the boundaries between days, months, or years - will now display a different timestamp.

This module will take care of handling the offset for you, so you don't have to worry about any of that. Plus, some of the values it provides (particularly monthName) are awkward to get with regular Date objects, so now you don't have to worry about that either.

See "Properties" below for the full list of properties this module provides.

Example

Minimal example:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var frontMatter = require('gulp-gray-matter');
var straticDecorateFiles = require('stratic-decorate-files');

gulp.task('post-index', function() {
	return gulp.src('*.md')
	           .pipe(frontMatter())
	           .pipe(straticDecorateFiles());
});

Full example:

var gulp = require('gulp');
var remark = require('gulp-remark');
var remarkHtml = require('remark-html');
var frontMatter = require('gulp-gray-matter');
var straticDecorateFiles = require('stratic-decorate-files');
var straticPostsToIndex = require('stratic-posts-to-index');
var addsrc = require('gulp-add-src');
var jade = require('gulp-jade');
var straticDateInPath = require('stratic-date-in-path');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');

gulp.task('post-index', function() {
	return gulp.src('*.md')
	           .pipe(frontMatter())
	           .pipe(remark().use(remarkHtml))
	           .pipe(straticDateInPath())
	           .pipe(straticDecorateFiles())
	           .pipe(addsrc('index.jade'))
	           .pipe(straticPostsToIndex('index.jade'))
	           .pipe(jade({basedir: __dirname}))
	           .pipe(rename({ extname: '.html' }))
	           .pipe(gulp.dest('dist'));
});

Properties

Each of these properties is attached to file.data.time; e.g. file.data.time.year for year. If file.data.edited is present, it also gets these properties attached.

moment (Object) - a MomentJS moment, preconfigured to handle the offset. Use this if what you need isn't already exposed.

year (Number) - the year the post was authored, as you would get from Date#getFullYear()

yearStr (String) - the year the post was authored, typecast to a string

month (Number) - the month the post was authored, as you would get from Date#getMonth() (i.e. zero-indexed)

monthName (String) - the name of the month the post was authored in; e.g. January

monthStr (String) - the month the post was authored in, made human-readable (i.e. 1 for January) and typecast to a string

monthUrlStr (String) - monthStr but with a 0 prepended if necessary to make the month two characters

dayOfMonth (Number) - the day of the month the post was authored, as you would get from Date#getDate()

dayOfMonthStr (String) - the day of the month the post was authored, typecast to a string
