Shared ProperDocs + MaterialX site builder and deploy helpers for FontLab web properties.

Project description

fontlab-www-toolkit

Shared ProperDocs + MaterialX site builder and deploy helpers used by the FontLab web properties (www.fontlab.com, www.vexy.art, and the api.fontlab.com/www-admin/ PHP UI).

Install

uv add fontlab-www-toolkit          # in a project
uvx fontlab-www-toolkit --help      # one-shot
pip install fontlab-www-toolkit

CLI

Three equivalent ways to invoke it:

fontlab-www-toolkit COMMAND        # console script (works under uvx too)
fontlab-build       COMMAND        # backwards-compat alias
python -m fontlab_www_toolkit COMMAND

Commands:

Command Effect
build [--skip_webflow] [--update_stubs] Pull Webflow stubs, build with MkDocs/ProperDocs, overlay wf_cache/ + static_docs/, publish to public/.
pull-webflow [--update_stubs] Refresh wf_cache/ only.
convert-old Regenerate OLD pages from src_docs/old-pages.yml.
clean Delete build_docs/ and public/.
setup [--venv PATH] [--clear] Create / refresh a uv venv for the admin pipeline.
version Print the installed version.

All commands accept --root PATH; default is the current working directory.

Site repo layout it expects

site/
├── src_docs/
│   ├── mkdocs.yml
│   ├── md/                   # Markdown sources (+ Webflow stubs via frontmatter)
│   └── old-pages.yml         # OPTIONAL — one-time HTML → MD conversions
├── static_docs/              # Copied verbatim over build_docs/ during overlay
├── wf_cache/                 # Generated — Webflow snapshots
├── build_docs/               # Generated — MkDocs output
└── public/                   # Generated — final publish tree

A Webflow stub is any Markdown file with frontmatter:

---
title: Page
webflow-import-url: https://example.webflow.io/page
---

Refreshing stub bodies (--update_stubs)

Normally only wf_cache/ is refreshed; the stub Markdown body stays as a placeholder (the cached HTML overlays it at build time). Pass --update_stubs to pull-webflow or build to also rewrite each stub's body from the freshly cached HTML, while preserving the stub's frontmatter verbatim:

fontlab-www-toolkit pull-webflow --update_stubs

For each stub it strips non-prose noise (<script>/<style>/<noscript> and hidden Webflow Windflow plugin metadata), serves the cleaned cached HTML over a loopback HTTP server, and runs url22md to extract Markdown. This requires the url22md CLI on PATH (or set url22md_bin in config); it is an external runtime tool, not a packaged dependency.

Configuration

You can customize the builder's behavior using a JSON configuration file (by default fontlab-www-toolkit.json in the root directory, or passed via --config CLI option). Alternatively, individual pages can specify page-specific overrides inside the input HTML:

<head>
  <script id="fontlab-toolkit-config" type="application/json">
  {
    "cloudinary": {
      "cl_responsive": {
        "methodology": "legacy"
      }
    }
  }
  </script>
</head>

Global Overrides

The following settings can be overridden in the root configuration object:

  • frontmatter_key (string): The YAML frontmatter key used to identify Webflow URLs. Defaults to "webflow-import-url".
  • webflow_badge_hide_css (string): CSS injected to hide the Webflow badge.
  • old_pages_config (string): Path to the legacy pages mapping file. Defaults to "src_docs/old-pages.yml".
  • mkdocs_command (string | array): The custom build command for MkDocs/ProperDocs. Can include the {config_file} placeholder.
  • user_agent (string): Custom User-Agent header used when pulling Webflow pages. Defaults to "fontlab_www_toolkit".
  • split_google_fonts (bool): When true (default), split a multi-family fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=A&family=B&… link into one ?family=X&display=swap link per family. This keeps web fonts loading even if a downstream step truncates the served URL at the first & (otherwise only the first family loads and the rest fall back to a system font).
  • url22md_bin (string): Path to the url22md executable used by --update_stubs. Defaults to whatever is found on PATH.
  • url22md_tool (int | null): Forces a specific url22md extraction engine (1=trafilatura, 3=readability, …). Defaults to 1 for offline, deterministic extraction; set to null to let url22md run its full fallback chain (may reach cloud tools).
  • url22md_timeout (int): Per-page extraction timeout in seconds. Defaults to 60.

Cloudinary Options

The cloudinary block allows automatic mapping of image URLs to Cloudinary and setup of responsive client-side loading:

{
  "cloudinary": {
    "cl_cloud": "mycloud",
    "cl_map": {
      "https://cdn.example-files.com/assets": "assets_prefix",
      "https://images.example.com": "images_prefix"
    },
    "cl_trans": "c_limit,w_auto/f_auto,q_auto,dpr_auto/",
    "cl_responsive": {
      "cl_trans_thumb": "c_limit,w_128/f_auto,q_1/",
      "cl_core_js": "https://unpkg.com/cloudinary-core@latest",
      "methodology": "modern"
    }
  }
}
  • cl_cloud: Cloudinary cloud name.
  • cl_map: Map of source URL prefixes to Cloudinary upload folder prefixes. Any matching image URLs found in attributes (like src, href, style background-image) will be replaced.
  • cl_trans: The default Cloudinary image transformation string.
  • cl_responsive: (Optional) Enables responsive client-side images:
    • Adds class="cld-responsive" to matching <img> elements.
    • Sets the src attribute to a thumbnail transformation (using cl_trans_thumb).
    • Sets the data-src attribute to the main transformation (using cl_trans).
    • Clears srcset to avoid browser conflict.
    • Injects responsive initialization scripts before the closing </body> tag:
      • methodology: "modern" (Recommended): Injects a lightweight vanilla JS script using ResizeObserver to update image source dynamically, avoiding heavy external library dependencies.
      • methodology: "legacy": Injects the cloudinary-core library (cl_core_js) and invokes cl.responsive().

Deploy helpers (library use)

from pathlib import Path
from fontlab_www_toolkit import DeployTarget, run_full_deploy

target = DeployTarget(
    site_root=Path("/path/to/site"),
    site_label="www.example.com",
    local_source=Path("/path/to/site/public"),
    backup_dest=Path("/path/to/web-fontlab/src/ionos/live/example.com/public"),
    remote_path="live/example.com/public",
)
run_full_deploy(target, commit_message="Deploy www.example.com")

Mirrors the local backup, rsyncs to the remote, commits both the site repo and (if present) the web-fontlab/ mirror repo.

Develop

git clone git@github.com:Fontlab/fontlab-www-toolkit.git
cd fontlab-www-toolkit
uv sync
uv run pytest -q

Version comes from git tags via hatch-vcs. Tag with semver (v1.2.3) to bump.

Publish

./publish.sh   # uvx hatch clean ; uvx gitnextver ; uv build ; uv publish

Requires UV_PUBLISH_TOKEN (PyPI token) in the environment.
