JMV

Jekyll Metadata file Viewer (JMV) is a simple tool to enable viewing contents of the .jekyll-metadata file generated by Jekyll when a site is built or served under incremental mode.

Add this line to your Jekyll site's Gemfile:

gem 'jmv', '~> 0.1'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

Or install it directly via:

$ gem install jmv

JMV installs as a command-line program that serves a local webpage generated and rendered using the contents of the metadata file, provided that a .jekyll-metadata file exists at the root of the given directory.

1. cd into a Jekyll project directory containing the .jekyll-metadata file.

2. Run jmv or bundle exec jmv if the gem is to be used via a Gemfile.

The above two steps can be executed in a single step by utilizing the --source (or -s) option:

$ jmv --source path/to/dir

Once the server is up and running, point your web browser to http://localhost:3000 to view the metadata file contents. If you wish to use a different port for the server, you may do so by utilizing the --port (or -p) option before starting the server:

$ jmv --port 8080

The server will then start mounted at http://localhost:8080.
