Generates a cleanup bash script.

metalsmith-cleanscript

Generates a cleanup script for your metalsmith build. This is useful when your build directory has more than what metalsmith has put in there, so cleaning up is not as simple as 'rm -rf build'.

Example

$ ls -R build
clean.sh posts style not-added-by-metalsmith.txt

posts:
page1

posts/page1:
index.html

style:
style.css

$ cat clean.sh
#!/bin/bash
rm /Users/me/build/posts/page1/index.html
rm /Users/me/build/style/style.css

rmdir /Users/me/build/style
rmdir /Users/me/build/posts/page1
rmdir /Users/me/build/posts
rmdir /Users/me/build

Install

npm install metalsmith-cleanscript

Usage

var cleanscript = require('metalsmith-cleanscript');

// Use this plugin after any other plugins that may add or change 
// files.
.use(cleanscript("clean.sh"))

// Equivalent to .use(clean()) since clean.sh is the default
// Also equivalent to .use(cleanscript({ out: 'clean.sh' }))

Options

out

the relative path of your newly minted cleanup script

the path you provide will be relative to your build directory, i.e. the return value of metalsmith.build().

note this is what will be set if you use cleanscript with a string

default 'clean.sh'

root

whether or not to try to delete the root build directory

default true

Todo

1. Support multiple scripting languages
2. Add an "ignore" option
