Frontmatter Module

This modules exposes all the frontmatter variables of a file as variables.

Documentation

Retrieves the file's frontmatter variable value.

If your frontmatter variable name contains spaces, you can reference it using the bracket notation like so:

<% tp.frontmatter["variable name with spaces"] %>

Let's say you have the following file:

---
alias: myfile
note type: seedling
---

file content

Then you can use the following template:

File's metadata alias: <% tp.frontmatter.alias %>
Note's type: <% tp.frontmatter["note type"] %>

For lists in frontmatter, you can use JavaScript array prototype methods to manipulate how the data is displayed.

---
categories:
  - book
  - movie
---

<% tp.frontmatter.categories.map(prop => `  - "${prop}"`).join("\n") %>
