Provides a basic reusable snippet functionality for GitBook. It supports using properties files for key/values that will be searched/replaced in the content.
It is most useful for inline or simple strings that you might reuse, such as links or names.
Install it using npm install --save gitbook-plugin-snippets and then update the book.json to include the following values.
{
"plugins": [
"snippets"
],
"pluginsConfig": {
"snippets": {
"file": "snippets.properties"
}
}
}The pluginsConfig.snippets.file property should be the path or url to a properties file.
The plugin uses the properties module to load and parse the file. It currently only supports top level properties, meaning you cannot namespace or nest sections. Here is an example.
200_STATUS=Request was successful.
404_STATUS=The resource was not found.Now in order to consume this, you just place the key in your content and it will be replaced inline.
