Hexo: Open markdown file after running hexo new?

[andrewboni]

Hi, I'm wondering how to run some custom commands after doing a hexo new "My post". I'd like to immediately open the my-post.md file in my editor of choice (with a vi my-post.md). Anyone have a solution to this? Thanks!

You can try to listen to the new event. For example:

var spawn = require('child_process').spawn;

// Hexo 2.x
hexo.on('new', function(path){
  spawn('vi', [path]);
});

// Hexo 3
hexo.on('new', function(data){
  spawn('vi', [data.path]);
});

Thanks for the reply. Where should this live?

You can add a JavaScript file to scripts folder.

var spawn = require('child_process').spawn;
// Hexo 3
hexo.on('new', function(data){
spawn('vi', [data.path]);
});

For me, this failed to open Vim in terminal.
I added { stdio: 'inherit' } option to let Vim use parent's stdios.

var spawn = require('child_process').spawn;
 // Hexo 3
hexo.on('new', function(data){
spawn('vim', [data.path], { stdio: 'inherit' });
});

It opens Vim in terminal now.
