README
# section-matter [](https://www.npmjs.com/package/section-matter) [](https://npmjs.org/package/section-matter) [](https://npmjs.org/package/section-matter) [](https://travis-ci.org/jonschlinkert/section-matter)
> Like front-matter, but supports multiple sections in a document.
Please consider following this project's author, [Jon Schlinkert](https://github.com/jonschlinkert), and consider starring the project to show your :heart: and support.
## Install
Install with [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/):
```sh
$ npm install --save section-matter
```
## Usage
**Params**
* `input` **{String|Buffer|Object}**: If input is an object, it's `content` property must be a string or buffer.
* **{Object}**: options
* `returns` **{Object}**: Returns an object with a `content` string and an array of `sections` objects.
**Example**
```js
var sections = require('{%= name %}');
var result = sections(input, options);
// { content: 'Content before sections', sections: [] }
```
See available [options](#options).
## Example
_With the exception of front-matter, **which must be the very first thing in the string**, the opening delimiter of all other sections must be followed by a string to be used as the `key` for the section._
Given the following string:
```
Content before the sections.
---
More content.
---one
title: One
---
This is the first section.
```
The following code:
```js
console.log(sections(input));
```
Results in:
```js
{
content: 'Content before the sections.\n\n---\n\nMore content.\n',
sections: [
{
key: 'one',
data: 'title: One',
content: '\nThis is the first section.'
}
]
}
```
## Options
### options.section_parse
**Type**: `function`
**Default**: `undefined`
Function to be called on each section after it's parsed from the string.
**Example**
Given the following string (`foo.md`):
```
This is content before the sections.
---one
title: First section
---
This is section one.
---two
title: Second section
---
This is section two.
```
Using the following custom `section_parse` function:
```js
var fs = require('fs');
var path = require('path');
var yaml = require('js-yaml');
var sections = require('section-matter');
var str = fs.readFileSync('foo.md');
var options = {
section_parse: function(section) {
console.log(section)
section.key = 'section-' + section.key;
section.data = yaml.safeLoad(section.data);
}
};
var result = sections(str, options);
console.log(result);
```
Results in:
```js
{
content: 'This is content before the sections.\n',
sections: [
{
key: 'section-one',
data: { title: 'First section' },
content: '\nThis is section one.\n'
},
{
key: 'section-two',
data: { title: 'Second section' },
content: '\nThis is section two.\n'
}
]
}
```
### options.section_delimiter
**Type**: `string`
**Default**: `---`
Delimiter to use as the separator for sections. _With the exception of front-matter, which must be the very first thing in the string, the opening delimiter of all other sections must be followed by a string to be used as the `key` for the section._
**Example**
```js
var input = '~~~\ntitle: bar\n~~~\n\nfoo\n~~~one\ntitle: One\n~~~\nThis is one';
console.log(sections(input, {section_delimiter: '~~~'}));
```
Results in:
```js
{
content: '',
sections: [
{
key: '',
data: 'title: bar',
content: '\nfoo'
},
{
key: 'one',
data: 'title: One',
content: 'This is one'
}
]
}
```
