Common middleware for applications built with base-methods (like assemble, verb, generate, and update)

Install

Install with npm:

$ npm install --save common-middleware

Usage

var middleware = require('common-middleware');
var assemble = require('assemble-core');

// create your app
var app = assemble();

// register the middleware
app.use(middleware());

Middleware

The following middleware are included.

Parses front-matter on files that match options.extRegex and adds the resulting data object to file.data. This object is passed as context to the template engine at render time.

Registers a .preWrite middleware for unescaping escaped delimiters.

Uses C-style macros to escape templates with {%%= foo %} or <%= foo %> syntax, so they will not be evaluated by a template engine when .render is called.

Adds a json property to the file object when the file extension matches options.jsonRegex. This allows JSON files to be updated by other middleware or pipeline plugins without having to parse and stringify with each modification.

If file.contents has not already been updated directly, the file.contents property is updated with stringified JSON before writing the file back to the file system.

Options

options.jsonRegex

Customize the regex used for matching JSON files.

Example

app.use(middleware({jsonRegex: /\.json$/}));

options.extRegex

Customize the regex used for matching template file extensions.

Example

app.use(middleware({jsonRegex: /\.(hbs|tmpl)$/}));

options.escapeRegex

Customize the regex used for matching the extensions of files with templates to escape.

Example

app.use(middleware({jsonRegex: /\.(tmpl|hbs)$/}));

Building docs

(This project's readme.md is generated by verb, please don't edit the readme directly. Any changes to the readme must be made in the .verb.md readme template.)

To generate the readme, run the following command:

$ npm install -g verbose/verb#dev verb-generate-readme && verb

Running tests

Running and reviewing unit tests is a great way to get familiarized with a library and its API. You can install dependencies and run tests with the following command:

$ npm install && npm test
