Simple Static Page Generator in NodeJS.
$ git clone https://github.com/sambhav2612/staticgen.git nodejs-static-webpage-generator
$ cd nodejs-static-webpage-generator
$ npm install
$ npm run start
You can generate html
pages by creating markdown files in /pages
and providing page specifications from JSON files in /pages_meta
. Only costraint is that the file name has be same in both directories for successful generation of html pages with the same name as provided earlier for both markdown and json files.
An example to markdown file in pages dir:
# Home page
Hello world!
[Link to another page](./other.html)
and JSON spec in pages_meta dir:
{
"lang": "en",
"title": "Homepage",
"stylesheets": ["./css/style.css"],
"scripts": ["./js/main.js"],
"charset": "utf-8",
"description": "This is a page",
"keywords": "page, sample",
"author": "Sambhav Jain",
"favicon": "./images/next.svg",
"viewport": "width=device-width, initial-scale=1",
"extra": []
}
You can edit the attributes according to html. The icon can be manually replaced as well. The styling (style.css
in /css
) can be manually changed according to need as can be changed the font (from pages_template.js
in /build_scripts
).
However, pages can be built without supplying JSON spec as the generator keeps a default copy of the spec in case user does not explicitly defines one to use.
The pages are generated in the build
directory on root which you can use to deploy on your site as usual.
