Metadata

The Metadata Class

The Cooklang specification includes frontmatter metadata at the top of the recipe. This class contains that metadata. The metadata is available via . notation (md.tags), index notation (md['tags']), and a get method (md.get('tags', '')).

For Cooklang's canonical metadata items will be stored both as they appear in the recipe as well as converted to a canonical name as defined by METADATA_MAPPINGS. For your convenience there is also a mapping for display purposes called METADATA_DISPLAY_MAP. Both of these mappings can be imported:

from cooklang_py.const import METADATA_DISPLAY_MAP, METADATA_MAPPINGS
