metalsmith-jekyll-dates

Adds date and slug metadata to files that have Jekyll-style filenames.

Example

Before:

{
  "2000-10-15-my-post.md": {
    contents: new Buffer('...')
  }
}

After

{
  "2000-10-15-my-post.md": {
    date: "Sun Oct 15 2000 12:00:00 GMT-0700 (PDT)",
    slug: "my-post"
    contents: new Buffer('...')
  }
}
