expand-front-matter    

> Middleware for processing config templates in front matter. Can be used with verb, assemble v0.6.0 and greater, or any application based on jonschlinkert/templates.

Install

Install with npm:

``sh
$ npm install --save expand-front-matter
`

Usage

Works with assemble, verb, generate, update, or any Template-based application. Just replace assemble in the examples with your application of choice.

This requires front-matter to be parsed in advance. You can easily do this with parser-front-matter like this:

`js
var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();

// parse front matter on all hbs files
app.onLoad(/\.hbs$/, function(view, next) {
matter.parse(view, next);
});
`

$3

Use as a middleware:

`js
var expand = require('expand-front-matter');
var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();

app.onLoad(/\.hbs$/, expand(app));
app.pages('*.hbs');
`

$3

app plugin

Use as an "instance" plugin on app to expand templates in the front-matter of all views in all collections:

`js
var expand = require('expand-front-matter');
var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();
app.use(expand());

app.pages('*.hbs');
`

Collection plugin

Use as a collection instance plugin to expand templates in the front-matter of all views in the collection:

`js
var expand = require('expand-front-matter');
var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();
app.create('pages')
.use(expand(app));

app.pages('*.hbs');
`

view plugin

Use as a view plugin to expand templates in the front-matter of a specific view:

`js
var expand = require('expand-front-matter');
var assemble = require('assemble');
var app = assemble();
app.create('pages')

app.page('foo', {content: '...'})
.use(expand(app))
.render(function(err, res) {
//=> do stuff to res
});
`
