Hi @fephil ,
Thanks for share this plugin.
I've been using since a couple of months this plugin and it works great.
But I have a little problem, is possible make metalsmith-metadata-directory ignore empty json file?
When I start a project, my data.json file is empty.
The problem is when i compile my build.js, and I get this error:
SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input

There any way to do that if the file is empty, do not run the metalsmith-metadata-directory or ignore, like a plugin option?
Thanks in advance.
Have you considered using the files object that is provided by metalsmith and just filtering through any .json files.
As currently implemented, the plugin adds all properties to the root metadata object. So, for example, if the files foo.json and bar.yml were parsed, the metalsmith.metadata() would then have foo and bar properties containing the parsed metadata from the respective files.
It would be useful to provide an option for the app to specify a root property in which those parsed properties were added. For example, if the app specified that all parsed files be added to the '_data' property, the plugin would ensure that the _data property existed in the metadata object (possibly adding it if absent), and then add foo and bar properties to metalsmith.metadata()._data.
works fine with metalsmith-in-place but not with metalsmith-layouts
the initial start up works fine, however once any file has changed and metalsmith-watch rebuilds the files that have changes i get the continues error:
Error: Duplicate file name: file.yml
