hyn / frontmatter

Markdown with meta frontmatters of type json, toml and yaml

Frontmatter

An easy package to parse any markdown file that includes some kind of meta data (commonly known as frontmatter).

Installation

composer require hyn/frontmatter

Usage

The easiest way is using inversion of control, but feel free to instantiate the class the way you see fit:

$parser = new \Hyn\Frontmatter\Parser(new \cebe\markdown\Markdown);

// Uses json per default, but set specifically:
$parser->setFrontmatter(\Hyn\Frontmatter\Frontmatters\JsonFrontmatter::class);
// Use toml:
$parser->setFrontmatter(\Hyn\Frontmatter\Frontmatters\TomlFrontmatter::class);
// Or use yaml:
$parser->setFrontmatter(\Hyn\Frontmatter\Frontmatters\YamlFrontmatter::class);

// And parse the markdown file:
$contents = $parser->parse(file_get_contents('the-file.md'));
// Get meta
$meta = $parser->getMeta();
