# Jekyll Image Data

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/rukbotto/jekyll-image-data.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/rukbotto/jekyll-image-data)

Image data for Jekyll posts and pages. Crawls Markdown content from posts and pages in search of image data ("src" and "alt" attributes) and makes it available as a post/page metadata attribute.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem "jekyll-image-data"
```

And then execute:

```sh
$ bundle
```

Or install it yourself as:

```sh
$ gem install jekyll-image-data
```

## Usage

Define your images using Markdown format, plain HTML or by including a `.liquid` file:

```markdown
![Alt text](/image-url)

or

![Alt text][ref]
[ref]: /image-url
```

```html
Image
```

```liquid
{% include image.liquid src="http://placehold.it/800x600" alt="Image" %}
```

Note that the included file must be named `image.liquid` or `image.html` and must accept at least two parameters: `src` and `alt`.

This plugin gets executed in the `:posts, :pre_render` and `:pages, :post_init` hooks. After execution, `post.data["images"]` or `page.data["images"]` will hold `alt` and `src` data for all images inside post/page:

```ruby
post.data["images"] = [
{ "alt" => "Alt text", "url" => "/media/images/800x600.png" },
{ "alt" => "Alt text", "url" => "/media/images/800x600.jpg" },
{ "alt" => "Alt text", "url" => "/media/images/800x600.gif" }
]
```

```liquid
{% for image in page.images %}
{{ image.alt }}
{% endfor %}
```

### Excluding images

If you don't want data from some images to be included in the `post.data["images"]` or `page.data["images"]` variables, you can add the image URL to the `exclude` setting in the `_config.yml` file:

```yaml
image_data:
exclude: "/media/images/800x600.png"
```

Remember this setting is a regular expression. You can put the complete URL of the images or just part of it. In the above example, data from any image that contains the string `/media/images/800x600.png` in the `src` attribute won't be added to the data variable for any post or page.

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `script/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `script/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
