Usage

Otterraft is a simple YAML Frontmatter parser for Ruby. It can be used to parse YAML Frontmatter from a string.

text = <<~MARKDOWN_TEXT
---
title: Hello, World!
date: 2021-01-01 12:00 JST
tags:
- hello
- world
- ruby
---

# Hello, World!
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.
- First item
- Second item
MARKDOWN_TEXT

Otterraft.parse(text)
# => { "title" => "Hello, World!", "date" => "2021-01-01 12:00 JST", "tags" => ["hello", "world", "ruby"] }

Otterraft can also be used to parse YAML Frontmatter from a file. If you have a file named hello.md with the following content:

---
title: How to use parse from file
date: 2024-12-31 23:59 JST
tags:
- how-to
- parse
---

# Hello, World!
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.

You can parse the file like this:

Otterraft.parse_file('hello.md')
# => { "title" => "How to use parse from file", "date" => "2024-12-31 23:59 JST", "tags" => ["how-to", "parse"] }
