Apply Settings From Markdown Frontmatter about scully HOT 6 CLOSED

Okay that's great, but I don't think this should be closed just yet. Some of those frontmatter items, like permalink or published or published date should be used. So if the filename is 2019-12-16-my-post.md, but the publish_date is 2019-12-20, the file should not be created until that day. In addition, if the permalink value is /this-is-the-post-name, that should be the generated file name, and not the actual file name.

Having some of the front matter available through the service is great, but those values also need to be used at build time. If that is set through the service, are there any examples of how to do this?

Front-matter is already in use, and all the data is available to you angular app by means of the ScullyRouteService

Here is an example of frontmatter from a post on my site.

I think this front-matter plugin could work perfectly. You use it to parse a markdown file, and it returns an object like this:

{
    attributes: {
        title: 'Just hack\'n',
        description: 'Nothing to see here'
    },
    body: '\nThis is some text about some stuff that happened sometime ago',
    frontmatter: 'title: Just hack\'n\ndescription: Nothing to see here'
}

The attributes could then be applied to the document.

Another option could be using this yaml-front-matter plugin. It's similar to the above, but it just returns the frontmatter as an object. Then the permalink for the post could be determined, the page title, and other similar things.

Okay sounds great. :) Thanks for the explanation! Looking forward to those things. :)
