sitejson
This is Node commandline application used to read data from json file and puts that data into the web page.
How to install
npm install sitejson --save
Folder Structure
.
|--input
|-- 1.html
|-- 2.html
|--pagedata.json
|--run-me.js
Placeholder
We need to define the placeholder in the html page. Placeholder should be a single word wrap with ++ as it will be the key in json to represent it's content. For eg.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>++title++</title>
</head>
<body>
++content1++
</body>
</html>
pagedata.json
'pagedata.json' contains all the data in key value form. As mention earlier key will be the placeholder used in html file. For eg.
{
"title": "My Page",
"content1": "This is data of content1",
"content2": "This is data of content2"
}
By default program reads 'input' directory to get list of html files. We can specify the name of directory which contains html files as a parameter on commandline.
node myprogram.js ./inputFilesDirectory
or
node myprogram.js ./allFiles/subDirectory
How to RUN
Create the program file say run-me.js and add the following code.
var sitejson = require('sitejson');
sitejson.readDirectory();
Now open the command prompt and traverse to the directory where run-me.js is located. Run the following command
node run-me
then we can see the log of files which are process on console and final process files would be available at output folder.
