Gulp plugin to add default categories for Stratic posts
npm install stratic-default-categoriesstratic-default-categories[Gulp][1] plugin to add default categories for [Stratic][2] posts
npm install stratic-default-categories
The module exports a single function which will return a through stream. The function takes one argument, an array of strings representing categories to be added to all posts (unless specified otherwise).
You can omit defaults by putting them in the noncategories.
Minimal gulpfile.js for this module to work:
``js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var straticParseHeader = require('stratic-parse-header');
var straticDateInPath = require('stratic-date-in-path');
var addsrc = require('gulp-add-src');
var straticPostsToIndex = require('stratic-posts-to-index');
var straticDefaultCategories = require('stratic-default-categories');
gulp.task('post-index', function() {
gulp.src('*.md')
.pipe(straticParseHeader())
.pipe(straticDateInPath())
.pipe(addsrc('src/blog/index.jade'))
.pipe(straticPostsToIndex('index.jade'))
.pipe(straticDefaultCategories(['category-name']));
});
`
Complete example gulpfile.js:
`js
var gulp = require('gulp');
var frontmatter = require('gulp-gray-matter');
var remark = require('gulp-remark');
var remarkHtml = require('remark-html');
var straticDateInPath = require('stratic-date-in-path');
var addsrc = require('gulp-add-src');
var straticPostsToIndex = require('stratic-posts-to-index');
var straticDefaultCategories = require('stratic-default-categories');
var jade = require('gulp-jade');
var rename = require('gulp-rename');
// Separate variable because in reality you'll probably want to pass this to multiple tasks
var categoryDefaults = ['category-name'];
gulp.task('post-index', function() {
gulp.src('*.md')
.pipe(frontmatter())
.pipe(remark().use(remarkHtml))
.pipe(straticDateInPath())
.pipe(addsrc('src/blog/index.jade'))
s .pipe(straticPostsToIndex('index.jade'))
.pipe(straticDefaultCategories(categoryDefaults))
.pipe(jade({pretty: true, basedir: __dirname}))
.pipe(rename({ extname: '.html' }))
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist/blog'));
});
`
Example blog post (with YAML frontmatter) that omits the category-name category:
`yaml
---
title: "Post title"
time:
epoch: 1000000000
utcoffset: "UTC-0"
author: "AJ Jordan"
noncategories:
- category-name
---
Here is a blog post!
