\[WIP\] Frontmatter Jekyll style parser

Available parsers:

- yaml (use [symfony/yaml](https://github.com/symfony/Yaml))
- Markdown (use [erusev/parsedown-extra](https://github.com/erusev/parsedown-extra))
- Json (use [seld/jsonlint](https://github.com/seld/jsonlint))

Install
-------

[](#install)

Via Composer

```
$ composer require devster/frontmatter
```

And add extra packages that built-in parsers use:

```
# YAML
$ composer require symfony/yaml

# Markdown
$ composer require erusev/parsedown-extra

# Json
$ composer require seld/jsonlint
```

*These packages are not required by default to minimize the footprint and speed up your install if you only need few of them*

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Basic usage

[](#basic-usage)

```
require '../vendor/autoload.php';

$parser = new Devster\Frontmatter\Parser('yaml', 'markdown');
$content = getBody(); // This is Markdown content
```

All content examples above are parsed like normal frontmatter content:

```
$content =
