ruby on rails - Jekyll auto-generated titles from file names -

i write files like:

• ideas.md
• social-pomodoro.md
• ynm.md

and not have write titles, eg:

--- title: ideas --- 

but titles should generated filenames using similar rails #humanize method.

as isn't built-in functionality of jekyll (at time of writing), suppose have 2 options:

1. write post, , use {{ post.path }} tag , manipulate path filename , save post title.

this require write frontmatter , other post details. here's related question.

2. (recommended) use script generate filename based on title.

this similar reverse of wanted, in script take in parameters such post title , post tags, , generate file correct jekyll post filename (name-of-post-2015-01-30) (i think jekyll posts need dates avoid collisions). script generate appropriate yaml front matter can writing right away , not deal repetitive overhead. all have like ./post.sh "title" "optional_tags , you're go!

here python script written josh branchadu creates file details dates , filenames taken care of. there's similar bash version well. lastly a script uses thor ruby in automating jekyll posts should let create post in painless way possible.
