const parseFile = require('expressful-content').parseFile;
const path = require('path');

const CONTENT_DIRECTORY = path.join(__dirname, '/content/');

parseFile(CONTENT_DIRECTORY, 'homepage.cson');

Returns:

{
  title: 'Homepage',
  brandName: 'Expressful content',
  posts: [{ title: 'My first article'}, { title: 'My second article' }]
}
