Plugin to transfer Octopress (Jekyll) configuration variables to JavaScript
-
Copy
plugins/footnote_inlineto yourpluginsdirectory. -
Add following line at the top of
<head>section in source/_includes/head.html.
{{if page.jekyll_var}}{{page.jekyll_var}}{{endif%}}If you don't have jekyll_var configuration in your _config.yml,
this plugin transfers all configuration variables of site and page
to JavaScript.
If you want to pass only selected variables,
use jekyll_var: include/exclude, like:
jekyll_var:
include:
- title
- url
- author
- lang
exclude:
- langIf you have include, only listed variables are transfered.
If you have exclude, the variable is not transfered.
The plugin produce a script like:
<script>
jekyll_var = function(i,j=null){
if(j!="page" && i in jekyll_var.site)return jekyll_var.site[i];
else if(j!="site" && i in jekyll_var.page)return jekyll_var.page[i];
else return null;
};
jekyll_var["site"]={url:"http://yoursite.com",title:"My Octopress Blog",author:"Your Name",};
jekyll_var["page"]={title:"hoge",};
</script>site related variables (defined in _config.yml) are stored in
jekyll_var["site"],
and page related variables (defined in such YAML block) are stored in jekyll_var["page"].
Note: Some variables, such page.url, can not be used
as it seems these variables are stored after Generator plugins.
From your scripts, use like:
if(! "jekyll_var" in window){
var author = jekyll_var("author")||"AUTHOR";
}jekyll_var(arg) searches corresponding variables first from jekyll_var["site"],
then from jekyll_var["page"].
If nothing is found, null is returned.
If you want the variable of page (such a title in above example),
call with page as the second argument:
if(! "jekyll_var" in window){
var title = jekyll_var("title", "page")||"TITLE";
}
