jamstack 1.1.0

Jamstack in Python

Also known as Jamstackpy, is a tool that allows you to create static websites using the power of Python hand in hand with the Flask library. Its operation is based on templates which are rendered with the powerful Jinja engine generating your website with all its dependencies.

Installation

python -m pip install jamstack

Create basic project

jamstack plain <foldername>

Templates

Jamstack has templates available courtesy of html5up.

Template	Command	Tutorial
Massively	html5up/massively
Phantom	html5up/phantom	HERE

The syntax is as follows:

jamstack t <template_command> <project_folder_name>

Use the --existing flag if you want the project to be created in an existing folder

jamstack t html5up/massively myproject --existing

By default, projects based in templates are created without the assets (stylesheets, images, etc...) to download them, you must pass the --jamdo option to the static.py file of the respective project.

Build

To build the site run the file static.py.

python static.py

Your site will be generated in the dist/ folder.

Other project command-line options

Argument	Description
--serve	Optional. Start project livewatch (autoreload when files change).
--watch	Optional. Specify files and folders to watch. Must be separated by comma.
--port	Optional. Specify server port.
