A filesystem-less Jekyll reader

jekyll-siteleaf

A poorly documented series of monkey patches and refinements to Jekyll that removes the filesystem dependency from the Jekyll read process. There's really nothing specific to Siteleaf about it, but it does enable you to read from a database for instance, which we find handy.

Basic Usage

The main class is Jekyll::Siteleaf::Reader which is a drop in replacement for Jekyll::Reader.

Initialize the new reader with a Jekyll::Site and a "store", which should be a hash like object that can respond to #fetch and #keys.

require 'jekyll/siteleaf'

jekyll_site = Jekyll::Site.new(Jekyll.configuration)
jekyll_site.reader = Jekyll::Siteleaf::Reader.new(jekyll_site, store)

If your store was a literal hash it would look like this:

store = {
  'index.md' => ['Welcome to my site', { 'title' => 'Home' }],
  'about.md' => ['This is what I’m about', { 'title' => 'About' }]
}

Where the key is a "filename" and the value is an array of content and frontmatter.
