metalsmith-loader

Loads Metalsmith as well as multiple metalsmith plugins using globbing patterns

This plugin takes reference from / works similarly to load-grunt-task, allowing you to read the dependencies/devDependencies/peerDependencies in your package.json and load metalsmith plugins that matches the provided patterns.

Usually you would have to load each plugin one by one, which is unnecessarily cumbersome.

That aside, it also gives an option to load metalsmith library itself.

Before

var Metalsmith = require('metalsmith');
var drafts = require('metalsmith-drafts');
var permalinks = require('metalsmith-permalinks');
var collections = require('metalsmith-collections');

After

require('metalsmith-loader')();

Install

Install with npm: npm install --save-dev metalsmith-loader

Simplest use case:

var config = require('metalsmith-loader')();

Metalsmith(__dirname).use(config.collections());

or if you want it global:

require('metalsmith-loader')({global: true);

Metalsmith(__dirname).use(collections());

To specify additional options:

require('metalsmith-loader')({
  core: true,
    pattern: 'metalsmith-*',
    config: '../package.json',
    scope: 'devDependencies',
    global: true
});
