Examples

Cli

Not compatible with the CLI tool as it requires a reference to a self specified function.

Script

const Hoast = require(`hoast`);
const read = Hoast.read,
      rename = require(`hoast-rename`);

Hoast(__dirname)
  .use(read())
  .use(rename({
    engine: function(filePath) {
      return filePath.substr(0, filePath.lastIndexOf(`.`)).concat(`md`);
	  },
    patterns: `*.markdown`
  }))
  .process();

In the example only the markdown files with the .markdown extension are renamed to .md.
