# headerfile

This is a simple package which allows you to process files which consist of a key-value header, and then content.

## Use Case

The initial-use case was for a simple blog-compiler, which consumes a series of files containing posts.  As you might expect each post has some associated meta-data, such as a title, a set of tags, etc.

This library allows you to read the two parts of this file seperately, and cleanly:

```

Subject: This is my post

Date: 10th March 1980

Tags: foo, bar, baz

This is my blog post ..

```

Once parsed you can receive :

* The body of the post.

* A map containing the (string) keys and values present in the header.

  * The header-values may be separated by either `:` or `=`.

## Github Setup

This repository is configured to run tests upon every commit, and when

pull-requests are created/updated.  The testing is carried out via

[.github/run-tests.sh](.github/run-tests.sh) which is used by the

[github-action-tester](https://github.com/skx/github-action-tester) action.

If test-coverage drops beneath 100% this is a bug.  The package is simple

enough that this should not be an undue burdon.
