Let Jekyll convert your Ruby into JavaScript using Opal

Jekyll-Opal

Let Jekyll convert your Ruby into JavaScript using Opal.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'jekyll-opal'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install jekyll-opal

Usage

Write your Opal in .opal files (be sure to add the two --- lines at the top to make them pages!!)

This plugin comes with a generator which creates the Opal library file in the destination, under js/opal.js, if it's not already there. To prevent backwards-incompatible sites, we ship a {{ site.opal.url }} variable for your use in your sites. When output, it will look like this: /js/opal.js.

If your site is served in a subfolder (i.e. http://example.org/subfolder/), simply prepend a baseurl:

<script src="{{ site.opal.url | prepend:"my_subfolder" }}"></script>

You can even prepend variables! Perhaps a URL?

<script src="{{ site.opal.url | prepend:"my_subfolder" | prepend:site.url }}"></script>

Feel free to chain them like that -- they're just Liquid filters.

File an issue if something isn't clear!
