use Spatie\YamlFrontMatter\YamlFrontMatter;
$object = YamlFrontMatter::parse(file_get_contents('example.md'));The parser will return a YamlFrontMatterObject, which can be queried for front matter or it's body.
$object->matter(); // => ['title' => 'Example']
$object->matter('title'); // => 'Example'
$object->body(); // => 'Lorem ipsum.'
$object->title; // => 'Example'Protip: The matter function also accepts dot notation for nested fields, e.g. matter('meta.keywords').
