YAML Front-Matter

[5thWall]

Is YAML Front-Matter a thing we need/want to support? If so, what should it do?

• Specify a data-file for a template
  • Maybe in conjunction with a flat list of files
  • We would probably need a destination directory/extension in that case
  • Or just to avoid specifying the data object in the grunt file.
• Specify extra data to be given to a template
• Specify output instructions
• Specify wrapper template

Personally I'm not a big fan of YAML Front-Matter or keeping variables in the file where they get used. I can't really see a benefit in that.

There's also the point that we currently can set a data source on a per file basis. If we want to share data, we share a file, if we want it separate, we keep it separate.
