A Simple Static Site Generator

Project description

Simple SSG

This is a very simple static site generator. It was made for one purpose alone: to decouple a static sites content from its document structure.

Install

To install the package run the following command:

pip install sssg

Use

Before running, you should create a pages.json file, and all template and content files references in it. Below is an example of how a directory structure might look.

├── pages.json
├── templates
|   ├── home.html
|   ├── ...
└── content
    ├── title.txt
    ├── ...

By default the path of the pages.json is named as such and located in the root directory. The base template and content directory are also as above, but all three can be configured with command line arguments. To see the list of arguments run the following command.

python -m sssg -h

Your pages.json file contents may look something like this:

[
    {
        "template": "./home.html",
        "target": "./index.html",
        "content": {
            "title": "./title.txt"
        }
    }
]

For the example lets say your /templates/home.html file contents looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>{title}</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>{title}</h1>
</body>
</html>

And lets say your /content/title.txt looks like this:

Test Title

Now run the following command:

python -m sssg

This will generate your static files, which will look like this:

...
└── static
    ├── index.html
    ├── ...

Where the contents of index.html is:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
    <title>Test Title</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Test Title</h1>
</body>
</html>

I hope this explains the basics of how to use sssg.
