# blogger2ghost - Blogspot JSON migrator plugin for Ghost

`blogger2ghost` allows you to convert your Blogspot blog content into [one compatible with Ghost](https://github.com/tryghost/Ghost/wiki/import-format).

## Usage

### Basic

1. Set your blog's feed to **Full** in your Blogger.com dashboard: **Settings | Other | Allow Blog Feed**

1. Get posts in JSON format from your blog using `/feeds/posts/default?alt=json&max-results=10000` and save it to some file (eg. `data.json`)

2. `$ npm install blogger2ghost -g`

2. `$ blogger2ghost -i data.json > ghost.json`

3. Surf to `ghost/settings/labs` at your blog

4. Use `Import` controls to import the data to your blog

> Alternatively you can install and invoke it as a library (ie. `$ npm install blogger2ghost` and `node_modules/blogger2ghost -i data.json`)

### Advanced

**Remove tables from posts:**

`$ blogger2ghost -i data.json > ghost.json --remove-tables`

**Supply authors for multi-user Ghost:**

This will attribute imported posts to existing users, you should first create the users within Ghost.

1. Create `authors.json` file e.g.:

    ```js

    {

        "John Smith": { // key should match author name from blogger

            "id": 7, // id is arbitrary

            "email": "[email protected]" // email is used for lookup, must exist

        },

        "Jane Doe": {

            "id": 8,

            "email": "[email protected]"

        }

    }

    ```

2. Run `$ blogger2ghost -i data.json > ghost.json -a authors.json`

**Download images from Blogger:**

This will download all images from existing Blogger posts and place them into a directory ready for upload to Ghost. It will also replace urls with normalised paths that will load from the local `content` directory of Ghost.

    # 'blogger-images' directory will be created

    $ blogger2ghost -i data.json > ghost.json -d blogger-images --download-limit 10

### Custom

```js

var convert = require('blogger2ghost');

// json to convert goes to first

// options (authors etc.) go to second param

// extension callback as third

convert({...}, {}, function(data, post) {

    // manipulate data based on post fields (see blogger data content above)

    // you can see data fields available at https://github.com/tryghost/Ghost/wiki/import-format

    ...

    // once you are done with manipulation, return result

    return data;

});

```
