Jekyll_basename_dirname

This is a Jekyll plugin that provides two Liquid filters: basename and dirname. They work like the similarly named bash commands.

More information is available on my web site about my Jekyll plugins.

Installation

Add this line to your Jekyll website's Gemfile, within the jekyll_plugins group:

group :jekyll_plugins do
  gem 'jekyll_basename_dirname'
end

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll_basename_dirname

Usage

Dirname

Filters a string containing a path and returns the portion of th path before the filename and extension. Example: Extracts "blah/blah" from the path.

{{ "blah/blah/filename.ext" | dirname }} => blah/blah

Basename

Filters a string containing a path and returns the filename extracted from the path, including the filetype.

Example: Extracts "filename.ext" from the path:

{{ "blah/blah/filename.ext" | basename }} => filename.ext

Basename Without Extension

Filters a string containing a path and returns the filename extracted from the path, including the filetype.

Example: Extracts "filename.ext" from the path:

{{ "blah/blah/filename.ext" | basename_without_extension  }} => filename

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

Install development dependencies like this:

$ BUNDLE_WITH="development" bundle install

To install this gem onto your local machine, run:

$ bundle exec rake install

To release a new version,

1. Update the version number in version.rb.
2. Commit all changes to git; if you don't the next step might fail with an unexplainable error message.
3. Run the following: shell $ bundle exec rake release The above creates a git tag for the version, commits the created tag, and pushes the new .gem file to RubyGems.org.
