fss 0.2.1

Compile Flask/Jinja2 site into static html content

FSS, Flask-Static-Site
==============================================================================
Flask-Static-Site is designed to compile **Jinja2** templates into static web
webpages for static hosting like Amazon AWS S3 and Github Pages.

It also provides a simple development server via **Flask microframework**.


Installation
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just `pip install fss`


Layout
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By default, FSS works with files put as following layout:
```
*--- STATIC-SITE-ROOT // The root folder of your static site.
|
+--- fss_settings.py // Settings file for FSS
|
+--- static // Static files of this site (Default)
| +--- index.css
| +--- index.js
|
+--- templates // Jinja templates of this site (Default)
+--- index.jinja
+--- _temp.jinja
+--- about
+--- developer.jinja
+--- designer.jinja
```
FSS compiles above project structure into following layout:
```
*--- STATIC-SITE-ROOT // The root folder of your static site.
|
+--- fss_settings.py // Settings file for FSS
|
+--- static // Static files of this site
| +--- index.css
| +--- index.js
|
+--- templates // Jinja templates of this site
| +--- index.jinja
| +--- _temp.jinja
| +--- about
| +--- developer.jinja
| +--- designer.jinja
|
+--- index.html // Static html files that static-website can access
+--- about
+--- developer.html
+--- designer.html
```
FSS finds all **Jinja2 templates** in the `templates` folder, compiles it
into html pages, and puts built result at root directory. *(Templates named with a prefix "\_" won't be compiled)*.


Settings (fss_settings.py)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When running `fss` command, `fss` finds `fss_settings.py` in current working
directory. It loads the python module and update settings.
The default settings are:
```python
cwd = os.getcwd()
static_folder = 'static'
templates_folder = 'templates'
templates_context = {}
output_folder = '.'
flask_app_config = {}
```

- **static_folder**
A folder where to find static files when running a flask dev server and compiling.
By default, it uses `static` folder under current working directory.

- **templates_folder**
A folder where to find Jinja2 templates when running a flask dev server and compiling.
By default, it uses `templates` folder under current working directory.

- **templates_context**
Context for rendering Jinja2 templates

- **output_folder**
A folder here to put compiled result.
By default, it put result in the current working directory.

- **flask_app_config**
An extra dict used to setup Flask app.
