A Metalsmith plugin for adding metadata from an external source file

This plugin reads JSON files as external data sources to HTML files with the same name in the same directory.

Usage

Given a src directory with the following files:

├── src/
    ├── index.html
    ├── index.json

Use plugin in your Metalsmith build:

var Metalsmith = require('metalsmith');
var extMeta = require('metalsmith-external-metadata');

Metalsmith(__dirname)
  .use(extMeta({
    // options here
  }));

index.json will be rolled into the metadata for index.html.
