DuWebkit is a minimized subset of Ruofei Du's Python toolkits of personal website. It compiles minimized HTML, JS, and CSS by parsing data from a Google Sheet database.

The motivation is: given a set of papers with different authors, I have to manually generate BibTeX items, links to individual's website, and write template for each paper. It's tedious to maintain all links up-to-update so I need a structured way to do so. What if we can maintain all the data in two or more Google Sheet?

Why not SQL? PHPMYADMIN is insecure to play with while adding new rows require significant amount of efforts to log-in, ensure data integrity, and complex IO.

Why not JSON? In 2018, I made VarshneyWebsite, which uses JSON for storing students and papers. However, JSON file is hard to search and find, and column names are repetative.

Why gSheets is a better choice for personal website? In 2019, I started to build a new toolchain to leverage Google Sheets for updating such small-scale relational database. It offers me a convenient interface to have a quick overview of all of my previous submissions and coauthors.

You may need a developer account and access this sample Google sheet for a template Google sheet to compile a website from this set of Python scripts. This is the opensourced version of my private repository and may not reflected what I am showing on http:https://duruofei.com. Please feel free to pull request or ask me for anything.

Use pip3 install -r requirements.txt, or:

pip3 install --upgrade pip
pip3 install configparser
pip3 install --upgrade httplib2 oauth2client
pip3 install --upgrade google-api-python-client google-auth-httplib2 google-auth-oauthlib
pip3 install --upgrade markdown htmlmin
pip3 install --upgrade selenium
pip3 install --upgrade beautifulsoup4
pip3 install --upgrade csscompressor
pip3 install --upgrade jsmin

Simply run:

python3 build.py

The results will be written into builds/ folder by default.

I am not checking in my photos, but the images should be located in the builds/images folder.

See scripts/utils/regex.py for the complete grammar and feel free to extend it.

• Multiple language support.
• Better CSS for the demo project.
• The sample HTML has typos and unmatched tags. I suggested you write your own :)
