jekyll-get-json

💎 Import remote JSON data into the data for a Jekyll site

Installation

Use bundle add jekyll-get-json to add this to your site's Gemfile.
Add this plugin to the plugins listed in your _config.yml file. For example:
```
plugins:
  - jekyll-get-json
```

Add a jekyll_get_json section to your _config.yml file. This section should be an array of objects containing data and json properties:

The data property specifies where in the site.data you would like to put this data.
The json property is the remote URL of the JSON file.

To illustrate an example, assuming that you have a remote JSON file at https://example.com/data.json containing this:

{
  "bar": "Success!"
}

And you put the following into your _config.yml file:

jekyll_get_json:
  - data: foo
    json: 'https://example.com/data.json'

Then in your Jekyll site you will be able to use:

{{ site.data.foo.bar }}

And you will see:

Success!

This plugin is basically a more limited version of jekyll-get, duplicated here purely for the purposes of making it a Ruby gem.
