Like unified, this repo provides sample and framework for you to write your own processing pipeline.

Rationale

• Tried py-obsidianmd first
  it doesn't support my flow of updating frontmatter
  but the construction of Notes collection and filter can be incorporated
• Tried unified pipeline
  remark-stringify changes the post content and it is disqualified
• vfile and vfile-matter
  does not provide API to modify frontmatter and update file
  write file with yaml.stringfy()
• gray-matter fits my purpose in first glance, but
  • have to disable date parsing manually
    Disable date parsing? · Issue #62 · jonschlinkert/gray-matter
  • gray-matter.stringify() clones frontmatter and messed up my ordering
  • dependency js-yaml is too old and does not provide customization

TODO

• fluent API like unified
• "comp.lang" -> "comp/language", "comp/dev"
• "comp.hardware" -> "comp/hardware"
• "web-*" -> "web/*"
• "*/runtime" -> "runtime/*"?
  not needed if we have tags search

Reference

jonschlinkert/gray-matter: Smarter YAML front matter parser
nodeca/js-yaml: JavaScript YAML parser and dumper. Very fast.
