A metalsmith plugin to add folders or files from outside the source directory with the idea to evolve into a content package system.
$ npm install metalsmith-packages
Install via npm and then add the metalsmith-packages key to your metalsmith.json plugins, like so:
{
"plugins": {
"metalsmith-packages": {
"paths": {}, // Not implemented yet.
"key": "folder"
}
}
}The key option will look for this key in the global metadata object for instance
{
"folder": {
"things": "~/some/path"
}
}The key object contains a mapping of the destination path (here things) where the absolute target path (here ~/some/path) will be mounted.
Note that ~ will be expanded to the user's home dir.
- Think about how to make this into a module system alongside the transclusion plugins.
