Can Jekyll act over css or js files?

Question

I'm using Jekyll for one of my projects and it really seems a very good alternative for developing simple websites but maintaining some processes automated.

It's nice how the Liquid Extensions work, so I was wondering if it's possible to make Jekyll act over js and css files too.

So I could have my main.css like:

@import url("/stylesheets/reset.css?{{site.time | date: '%Y%m%d%H%M%S'}}"); @import url("/stylesheets/config.css?{{site.time | date: '%Y%m%d%H%M%S'}}"); 

Using some of the helpers I have and also some variables I could create using YML front matter, don't know if it's possible through.

But since it only generated static files I don't see why I wouldn't be able to do so.

Thanks

Yep. You just have to add a YAML block to the file, and Jekyll will process it. The YAML block can be empty:

--- --- @import url("/stylesheets/reset.css?{{site.time | date: '%Y%m%d%H%M%S'}}"); @import url("/stylesheets/config.css?{{site.time | date: '%Y%m%d%H%M%S'}}");
