Usage

Consider the example.md file from above. First you'll need to parse the contents:

$parser = new \Spatie\YamlFrontMatter\Parser();

$object = $parser->parse(file_get_contents('example.md'));

The parser will return a YamlFrontMatterObject, which can be queried for front matter or it's body.

$object->matter(); // => ['title' => 'Example']
$object->matter('title'); // => 'Example'
$object->body(); // => 'Lorem ipsum.'

Protip: The matter function also accepts dot notation for nested fields, e.g. matter('meta.keywords').
