metalsmith-ids

May 3, 2015 · View on GitHub

A Metalsmith plugin that assigns a numeric id on your files based on sort by a field (by default date).

Features

$ npm install metalsmith-ids

var ids = require('metalsmith-ids');

metalsmith.use(ids());

There are additional options with the following default values:

metalsmith.use(ids({
  sortBy: 'date',
  reverse: false
}));

You could alter those options:

metalsmith.use(ids({
  sortBy: 'counter', // sort by the custom field -counter- of each file
  reverse: true // newest = 1, older = increase ID
}));

All of the same options apply, just add them to the "plugins" key in your metalsmith.json configuration:

{
  "plugins": {
    "metalsmith-ids": {
      "sortBy": "date",
      "reverse": true
    }
  }
}
