Jekyll Gdrive Plugin

Access data from a Google Drvie Spreadsheet in your Jekyll sites

Installation

Add these lines to your Gemfile:

group :jekyll_plugins do
  gem 'jekyll-gdrive'
end

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Usage

Before you can access any data from GDrive you need to get an access token. After installing the plugin, run:

$ bundle exec jekyll gdrive

And follow the instructions to create an application in Google's developer console and generate an access token.

Once you have to token, you need to set it up as an environment variable before running jekyll build.

$ export GDRIVE_TOKEN=<your ned gdrive token>

You'll also need to configure the plugin to use the right spreadsheet.

Add this to your _config.yml:

gdrive:
  sheet: "title of my spreadsheey"

Accessing your Google Sheet data

In any Liquid template you can now use: site.data.google_sheet to access your sheet data.

Example:

<table>
    <thead>
      {% for row in site.data.google_sheet limit: 1 %}
        <tr>
          {% for col in row %}<th>{{col}}</th>{% endfor %}
        </tr>
      {% endfor %}
    </thead>
    <tbody>
      {% for row in site.data.google_sheet offset: 1 %}
        <tr>
          {% for col in row %}<td>{{col}}</td>{% endfor %}
        </tr>
      {% endfor %}  
    </tbody>
  </table>
