Blog Tags Helper

Simple extension to stop me accidentally duplicating tags.
When on the tags: line of frontmatter, this extension will suggest previously used tags.

This extension regenerates tags every 7 days or can be manually regenerated with command Regenerate Blog Tags.

Configuration

The extension can be configured with the following settings:

• blogTagsHelper.enable: Enable or disable the extension (default: true)
• blogTagsHelper.fileGlobPattern: Glob pattern to find markdown files with frontmatter (default: **/index.md)
  • Examples: src/posts/**/*.md, content/**/*.md, blog/**/*.md

To configure, add the settings to your workspace or user settings:

{
  "blogTagsHelper.enable": true,
  "blogTagsHelper.fileGlobPattern": "content/**/*.md"
}

Notes

• Supports frontmatter delimited by --- or +++
• Supports single-line and multiline array-style tags:
• Can be used with any static site generator (Hugo, Jekyll, Gatsby, etc.)

Future

• Can we do anything tricky with the language server?
