redirect_generator
redirect-generator
Visual Studio Code Extension that makes it easier to move HTML pages in Jekyll websites, without breaking external links.
Features
Creates HTML page stubs that contain HTTP Meta Refresh redirects
for the HTML file in the currently active editor.
The redirect_from documentation describes how the redirects work.
Each time this plugin is invoked from a Visual Studio Code edit pane,
it writes a new path under the redirect_from: key, which it creates if necessary.
The newest paths are created at the bottom.
This plugin injects the URL of a redirect page into Jekyll front matter. Here is an example of front matter, showing the paths of two redirects:
/about/index.html
---
layout: default
title: Restless Page
redirect_from:
- /old/path1/index.html
- /old/path2/blah.html
---
Given the above front matter in a page at /about/index.html, 2 stub HTML pages would be created,
containing identical contents,
in addition to the normally generated page at _site/about/index.html:
/_site/old/path1/index.html
<head>
<title>Restless Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='/about/index.html'" />
</head>
/_site/old/path2/blah.html
<head>
<title>Restless Page</title>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL='/about/index.html'" />
</head>
