# Middleman provides an extension API which allows you to hook into the # lifecycle of a page request, or static build, and manipulate the output. # Internal to Middleman, these extensions are called "features," but we use # the exact same API as is made available to the public. # # A Middleman extension looks like this: # # module MyExtension # class << self # def registered(app) # # My Code # end # end # end # # In your `config.rb`, you must load your extension (if it is not defined in # that file) and call `activate`. # # require "my_extension" # activate MyExtension # # This will call the `registered` method in your extension and provide you # with the `app` parameter which is a Middleman::Server context. From here # you can choose to respond to requests for certain paths or simply attach # Rack middleware to the stack. # # The built-in features cover a wide range of functions. Some provide helper # methods to use in your views. Some modify the output on-the-fly. And some # apply computationally-intensive changes to your final build files. module Middleman::Features # RelativeAssets allow any asset path in dynamic templates to be either # relative to the root of the project or use an absolute URL. autoload :RelativeAssets, "middleman/features/relative_assets" # AssetHost allows you to setup multiple domains to host your static assets. # Calls to asset paths in dynamic templates will then rotate through each of # the asset servers to better spread the load. autoload :AssetHost, "middleman/features/asset_host" # CacheBuster adds a query string to assets in dynamic templates to avoid # browser caches failing to update to your new content. autoload :CacheBuster, "middleman/features/cache_buster" # DefaultHelpers are the built-in dynamic template helpers. autoload :DefaultHelpers, "middleman/features/default_helpers" # AutomaticImageSizes inspects the images used in your dynamic templates and # automatically adds width and height attributes to their HTML elements. autoload :AutomaticImageSizes, "middleman/features/automatic_image_sizes" # UglyHaml enables the non-indented output format from Haml templates.
