I want to generate YAML from matter from JSON data passed directly

blog_posts:{
        options: {
          layout: 'single-blog-post.hbs',
          pages: createPages('data/blog/blog.json','app/layouts/single-blog-post.hbs')
        },
      files: {'<%= dirs.output %>/blog/' : ['!*'] } //We need to trick assemble here using !* as the src
      
    }

  --- 
title : {{data.name}}

It returns [object Object] rather than the title name. When I add {{name}} in the hbs file it outputs it directly but it doesn't want to output it as YAML Front Matter.

@Stefany93 Thanks for the issue! If you're reporting a bug, please be sure to include:

• The version of assemble you are using.
• Your assemblefile.js (This can be in a gist)
• The commandline output. (Screenshot or gist is fine)
• What you expected to happen instead.

If your issue is related to one of the following, please open an issue there:

• grunt-assemble Issues with using assemble in grunt or the grunt-assemble library.
• handlebars-helpers Issues with using handlebars helpers from the handlebars-helpers library.

that assemble bot is annoying.

Thanks for the candid feedback. It's a catch-22, unfortunately. If we didn't use the bot, two people would have been annoyed.

edit: jk btw. I'm writing an answer to your question. Also it looks like you're using grunt-assemble, not assemble, is that correct? They are completely different applications.

[Stefany93]

^^ Haha! Yes it is grunt-assemble.

Anyone ?

@Stefany93 sorry for the delay. I'm not exactly sure how to answer the question, but I think it would have to do with how front-matter is parsed.

Is there a repository I can look at to get a better idea of what's happening?

^^ Thank you jon & doowb, but I think I got front matter wrong - it is for hardcoding and I needed it populated from JSON which doesn't make sense.
