vue-content-loader

Note: This repo works, but was experimental. If you'd like to use front-matter and Vue components in your Vue.js sites, I recommend using Nuxtent.

Extends vue-markdown-loader to accept front-matter and adds the metadata to Vue component.

Installation

npm install vue-content-loader --save-dev

Basic Usage

The following markdown file:

// ~content/MyFirstPost.md
---
title: "My First Post"
---

# Hello World

Can be used as such:

import FirstPost from '~content/FirstPost'

FirstPost.$metadata // { title: "My First Post" }

Note: vue-content-loader also supports Nuxt.js layout property. It treats this key in the front-matter differently, inserting it into the component's layout property, rather than the $metadata property.

How it works

You can use front-matter and Vue components in your markdown files:

---
title: "My first post!"
---

# Hello

This is my newest project:

<SomeDemo />

<script>
import SomeDemo from '~components/demo'

export default {
  component: {
    SomeDemo
  }
}
</script>

The content is parsed in three main steps:

First, the metadata is extracted and the front matter is commented out.

Then, the markdown file is converted into a single Vue component file.

Finally, the $metadata property is added to Vue component.

The result:

// ~content/FirstPost.md

<template>
<!--
title: "My first post!"
-->
<h1>Hello</h1>
<SomeDemo></SomeDemo>
</template>

<script>
import SomeDemo from '~components/demo'
export default {
  component: {
    SomeDemo
  },
  $metadata: { title: "My first post!" }
}
</script>
