Parser of my blog post Org mode based format. It takes Org mode format as the input and gives JSON with fields =title=, =excerpt= and =body= as the output. It will also surface any top-level properties.

My raw blog posts are available [[https://github.com/jakub-stastny/data.blog][here]], they can serve as an example of expected input.

For =DATE=, see https://orgmode.org/manual/Export-Settings.html. We use the ISO 8601 standard for formatting it.

** Format

#+BEGIN_SRC org
#+DATE: 2021-06-11T18:37:05+05:00

* Blog post title

This is the excerpt of the blog post.

** First heading

Content
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC javascript
// TODO: Make it a Rust example once I know how the smeg to program in it.
import { postToJSON, bodyToHTML } from "jakub-stastny/blog.parser.org"

const post = postToJSON(org_string, timezone)
console.log(JSON.stringify(post))
#+END_SRC

#+BEGIN_SRC json
{
  "title": "Blog post title",
  "excerpt": "This is the excerpt of the blog post.",
  "body": "** First heading\n\nContent",
  "published_timestamp": 1623454660
}
#+END_SRC

Notice that the =body= is still Org mode formatted.

Nothing is being exported to HTML, since we parse Org mode on the front-end as well. That's what the =bodyToHTML= function is for: just compile this package as a WebAssembly module and use it on both your back-end and your front-end!

Published timestamp is unix epoch timestamp.
