A very simple markdown blog module
  • Serve markdown + yaml text files from configurable directory
  • Provide date-based archives
  • Adds Gravatar based on Author email
  • Read Tumblr URLs and `301 Redirect
  • Comes with simple, default templates and styles (in the example` folder).
  • Uses hapi

Add the module to your app

npm install bumble

var Hapi = require('hapi');
var config = require('./bumbleConfig.json');

var server = new Hapi.Server('0.0.0.0', 3000 || process.env.PORT);

server.views({
    engines: { jade: 'jade' },
    path: 'views',
});

server.route({
    method: 'get',
    path: '/css/{path*}',
    handler: { directory: { path: 'public/css' } }
});

server.route({
    method: 'get',
    path: '/js/{path*}',
    handler: { directory: { path: 'public/js' } }
});

server.pack.require({ 'bumble': config }, function (err) {
    if (err) throw err;

    server.start(function () {
        console.log('bumble running on the port ' + server.info.port);
    });
});

The above should enable you to quickly run bumble from a docker instance.
Check out the full example for some simple default templates and styles.

Set your defaults in `bumbleConfig.json`

{
  "blogTitle": "Name of blog",
  "blogSubtitle": "Here's a tag line",
  "blogAuthor": "Blog Author",
  "blogAuthorEmail": "author@example.com",
  "blogBio": "One day, I decided to write a blog. This is the story of that blog.",
  "siteUrl": "http://example.com",
  "rssUrl": "http://example.com/feed/rss",
  "postDir": "posts",
  "blogHome": "/",
  "maxPosts": 10,
  "introPostWords": 100,
  "maxRelated": 5,
  "randomRelated": true,
  "browserCache": 3600000,
  "labels": ["blog", "http"]
}

`maxPosts` will set the maximum number of posts available on the main page and RSS feed.
`introPostWords` will truncate the opening paragraphs at 100 words, including at least the opening paragraph, and never cutting off a line mid-sentence.
`maxRelated` limits the number of related posts shown in a single post view.
`randomRelated` determines whether related posts should be shuffled or not. (If false, this will instead list your maximum of related posts in order of recency.)
`blogHome will accept routes like / or /blog or /somethingelse`.
`labels` can be a string or an array, or not provided at all. Please see Hapi API docs for more info on labels
Put markdown files in the `blog directory (or whichever you've chosen in postDir`)
If you add to the metadata (1) a proper timestamp to the `date field in metadata, *and/or* (2) a hyphenated version of the url name to the slug` field, then (respectively of which you add) it doesn't matter what you name the markdown files.
Alternatively, to automatically date and slugify your urls, name your files in this format:
YYYY-MM-DD-this-is-the-name-of-the-post.md

Adding metadata:

Just include a simple section of YAML at the header of each post, fenced in with three dashes and using these keys:

```

date: 2013-06-02 22:04:39 GMT slug: well-yep-another-post tags: sample, example

title: Well, yep, another post!

```
