jekyll-meta-files

This plugin augments static files with YAML data / front matter in optional metafiles.

DISCLAIMER: The plugin is very simple and relatively specific as it was created for a certain project. It's also not under active development but if you have feedback or even a pull request I am happy to incorprate it.

The basic plugin code is based on the comment here

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'jekyll-meta-files'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll-meta-files

The plugin will automatically augment all static files with additional YAML front matter from an assiciated metafile. The plugin looks for metafiles with the added extensions \*.meta.yml in [documents_url]meta/. The documents_url (with trailing /) should be specified in config.yml.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
