fbh_front_matter

Description:

fbh front matter

This is a shallow port by the Flutter Bounty Hunters to release a usable version of front_matter on Pub. We aren't making any promises to support this package at this time.
Front Matter #
A front matter parser that extracts YAML metadata from the start of a file or string.

Front matter is a concept heavily borrowed from Jekyll, and other static site generators, referring to a block of YAML in the header of a file representing the file's metadata.
Usage #
Suppose you have the following Markdown file:
---
title: "Hello, world!"
author: "izolate"
---

This is an example.

Use parse to parse a string, or parseFile to read a file and parse its contents.
import 'dart:io';
import 'package:front_matter/fbh_front_matter.dart' as fm;

// Example 1 - parse a string.
void example1() async {
var file = File('/path/to/file.md');
var fileContents = await file.readAsString();
var doc = fm.parse(fileContents);

print(doc.data['title']); // "Hello, world!"
print(doc.content); // "This is an example."
}

// Example 2 - read file and parse contents.
void example2() async {
var doc = await fm.parseFile('path/to/file.md');

print(doc.data['title']); // "Hello, world!"
print(doc.content); // "This is an example."
}

The returned document is an instance of FrontMatterDocument with properties:

YamlMap data - The front matter.
String content - The content body.

To convert the document back to the initial string value, call toString().
var text = '---\nfoo: bar\n---\nHello, world!';
var doc = fm.parse(text);

assert(doc.toString(), equals(text)); // true
