Config

Example:

$op: pipe
do:
  - title:
      $op: doc.get
      key: title
    url:
      $op: doc.get
      key:
        - location
        - href
    text:
      $op: html.markdown
      html:
        $op: html.simplify
        html:
          $op: doc.get
          key:
            - documentElement
            - outerHTML
  - $op: fs.saveFile
    filename:
      $op: str.join
      values:
        - $op: get
          key: title
        - ".md"
    content:
      $op: template.render
      template: |
        ---
        title: {{title}}
        url: {{url}}
        ---

        {{text}}

The config is a program that is computed using the following rules:

• If an object contains the key $op, it is interpreted as an operator, the other keys of this object are parameters of the operator
• Operators transform the context according to their logic and specified parameters
• Rest values interprets as is
• Calculation is a depth-first search
• Initial context is a secrets data

Secrets

The data which contains sensitive information and stored locally.

Example of secrets data:

token: Bearer token

Operators

Full documentation of operators is available in the operators section and on the options page of the extension.

Refs

If you need to include code from other files, you can use the $ref key.

Example:

$ref: "./<filename>#<selector>"

• <filename> is a name of the file
• <selector> is JSONPath selector
• One of the parameters can be omitted (e.g. ./<filename>, #<selector>)

Examples
