metalsmith-build-date

A Metalsmith plugin that adds a build date to the metadata. Useful for atom.xml or other feeds.

Installation

$ npm install metalsmith-build-date

Usage

var date = require('metalsmith-build-date');

metalsmith.use(date());

That will add a global date property to your metadata, so you can use it in a template like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
  <updated>{{ date }}</updated>

Options

key <string>

Change the key from the default value of 'date' to whatever you want. Useful if you already have a date in your frontmatter for the file, or if you want to be more specific about what the date represents.

Example:

metalsmith.use(date({ key: 'dateBuilt' ));

CLI Usage

Install via npm and then add the metalsmith-build-date key to your metalsmith.json:

{
  "plugins": {
    "metalsmith-build-date": true
  }
}
