A Rake Task which I wrote to migrate my Jekyll posts and categories to a custom Rails application I've built.
# A Ruby script to migrate Jekyll Posts to a custom Database
DIRECTORIES = ["tmp/blog/articles/_posts/*", "tmp/blog/startup/_posts/*",
"tmp/blog/productivity/_posts/*", "tmp/blog/music/_posts/*",
"tmp/blog/programming/_posts/*"]
def export(content, key)
match = content.match( /^---.*\n#{key}: ([^\n]*).*---$/m )
if match
match[1].gsub("\"", "")
end
end
def export_content(content)
match = content.match /^---.*---\n*(.*)$/m
if match
match[1].chomp
end
end
def export_slug(content)
match = content.match /.*\/(.*).html/
if match
match[1]
end
end
namespace :migrate do
task :categories => :environment do
# We migrate jekyll categories to a tags table
tags = []
DIRECTORIES.each do |dir|
Dir[dir].each do |file|
file = File.open(file, 'r').read
category = export(file, "category")
tags << category if category
end
end
tags = tags.uniq
tags.each { |t| p Tag.create(title: t) }
end
task :posts => :environment do
DIRECTORIES.each do |dir|
Dir[dir].each do |file|
file = File.open(file, 'r').read
title = export(file, "title")
permalink = export(file, "permalink")
slug = export_slug(permalink) if permalink
link = export(file, "link")
category = export(file, "category")
published = export(file, "published")
if published
published = eval(published)
else
published = true
end
date = export(file, "date")
date = date[0..-3].to_date if date
type = export(file, "layout")
content = export_content(file)
post = Post.create(title: title, content: content,
published_at: date, published: published,
external_link: link, style: type,
permalink: permalink)
post.slug = slug if slug
p post.save
tag = Tag.find_by_title(category) if category
post.tags << tag if tag
end
end
end
