Jekyll to Gatsby

CLI tool for batch updating jekyll markdown content files to markdown files useable by Gatsby (changing the date and slug)

Usage

Written in Rust, can be run with Cargo

Install the command

cargo install jekyll-to-gatsby

Run the command

cd my-folder-with-posts
jekyll-to-gatsby

The new files should appear in the output folder

What it does

Given a directory of Jekyll markdown post files, with a structure like this:

- some-folder
  - 2012-02-23-a-post.md
  - 2020-06-12-another-post.md

• Will batch process and output the posts in an output folder (configurable), extracting the date from the file name.
• Adds the date field in the frontmatter header of each post so Gatsby can find the date.
• Replaces the {{ site.url }}{{ site.baseurl }} syntax in URLs from Jekyll to remove it. You can move your previous Jekyll assets folder to the static folder in Gatsby and paths should work.

New structure (based on the structure used in the Gatsby Starter Blog:

- some-folder
  - a-post
    - index.md
  - another-post
    - index.md
