manage the static middleman blog articles

Writetheman

Create, show and list the middleman blog articles.

It's used by my middleman editor RailsTheMan to manage articles in the browser.

Installation

gem install writetheman

Usage

Init

Config the path of your local middleman :

article = Writetheman::Article::Base.new(yourpath)
blog = Writetheman::Blog.new(yourpath)

Init the article :

article.title = title
article.date = date
article.body = body
article.header = header # string
OR article.header_params = {'tags'=>tags}

Operations

Create a new article :

article.create

Update an article :

article.update(oldfilename)

Read an article file

article.load_from_file(filename)
OR article.load_from_title(title, date)

After loading it you have access to the article attributes

puts(article.title)
puts(article.tags)
puts(article.str_date)
puts(article.body)

List articles :

articles = blog.list_articles

To improve

I writed it to use with a html text editor (see my rails admin).
But more often, the html generated by editors is ugly.
I tried to deal with it, but I'm not happy with this code. Also it should be better separated, or moved in another gem.
