Jinja2 SSG

A very simple static site generator.

• The filesystem structure in --src is copied into --dest.
• Files and folders starting with _ are skipped.
• By default only html, txt, js files are used and the rest of them are skipped.
• YAML files can be used to provide data inside templates.

python3 -m pip install jinja2ssg
python3 -m jinja2ssg --src src --dest publish build

Example

site/src/
├── _base.html
├── _social_links.yaml
├── donate
│   └── index.html
├── _footer.html
├── index.html
└── _nav.html

Results in a DEST structure like:

site/www/
├── index.html
└── donate
    └── index.html

Common patterns

• Run with inotify to rebuild on source file changes.

      inotifywait --recursive --monitor --format "%e %w%f" \
      --event modify,move,create,delete ./src \
      | while read changed; do
          echo $changed
          (python3 -m jinja2ssg build)
      done
  

• Put social links inside _social.yaml files and access as {{ yaml._social.facebook }}
• Access all build paths using {{ build_paths }}. Useful while writing service worker code to cache the site as a PWA.
• Access {{ relative_path }} to know the path of the current file being rendered.
