## Document

Document is dead simple `db` based on documents, currently **markdown**
and **yaml**.

You can see **Document** as the logic behind projects like [jekyll](mojombo/jekyll)

## Features

* Simple Query Syntax
* Possibility to add `Metadata` to documents
* Validations (you can validate metadata)
* Easy API (pre-process, post-process, highlighting easy configurable)
* Sections (extracts for you `H2` elements)
* Syntax Highlighting (Github Markdown + Fenced Code Blocks)
* Integrated WebServer
* Mapping, you can map a directory to a class
* Sprockets
* Slim
* Coffee-Script

## Usage

The first thing to setup is your `root` of documents (`default to 'docs'`).

```rb
Document::BASE_DIR = './my_documents'
```

Your folder can looks like:

|~docs/
| |+guides/
| |+pages/
| |+posts/
| `-index.md

You can query for your documents in an **ActiveRecord** style api:

```rb
Document.all # => [#, ...]
doc = Document.find('index') # => #
doc.html
doc.metadata
doc.title
doc.mtime
doc.exipred?
doc.whatever # whatever you provided in metadata section
```

### Rendering

You can render your document with a [Git Flavored Markdown](https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown) style.

_Note at the moment, no tasks_

### Syntax Highlighting

Syntax Highlighting is provided with [Pygments.rb](https://github.com/tmm1/pygments.rb), so
basically you can highlight any language using fenced code blocks like:

```js
function(){mine}
```

### Mapping

You can map your directories to a specific class for example post can have different validations,
than simple pages.

So if you have:

docs/posts/first.md

You can create a model with:

```rb
class Post < Document
attr_reader :date, :tags, :categories

def validate!
raise Invalid, 'Title must be present' unless metadata.has_key?('title')
raise Invalid, 'Author must be present' unless metadata.has_key?('author')
raise Invalid, 'Date must be present' unless metadata.has_key?('date')
raise Invalid, 'Categories must be present' unless metadata.has_key?('categories')

@tags = metadata_array('tags')
@categories = metadata_array('categories')
@date = metadata_date('date')
end
end
```

Now you can query:

```rb
Post.find(:first)
Post.all
```

### Metadata

To be valid your post should looks like

---
title: My Title
date: 2013-03-24
categories: Foo, Bar
tags: [mine, foo] # yep, also a vanilla array is fine
---

Here my post
