Generates a cleanup script for your metalsmith build. This is useful when your build directory has more than what metalsmith has put in there, so cleaning up is not as simple as 'rm -rf build'.
$ ls -R build
clean.sh posts style not-added-by-metalsmith.txt
posts:
page1
posts/page1:
index.html
style:
style.css
$ cat clean.sh
#!/bin/bash
rm /Users/me/build/posts/page1/index.html
rm /Users/me/build/style/style.css
rmdir /Users/me/build/style
rmdir /Users/me/build/posts/page1
rmdir /Users/me/build/posts
rmdir /Users/me/build
npm install metalsmith-cleanscript
var cleanscript = require('metalsmith-cleanscript');
// Use this plugin after any other plugins that may add or change
// files.
.use(cleanscript("clean.sh"))
// Equivalent to .use(clean()) since clean.sh is the default
// Also equivalent to .use(cleanscript({ out: 'clean.sh' }))
the relative path of your newly minted cleanup script
the path you provide will be relative to your build directory,
i.e. the return value of metalsmith.build().
note this is what will be set if you use cleanscript
with a string
default 'clean.sh'
whether or not to try to delete the root build directory
default true
