stat!
Tool to handle markdown/html/etc for a personal website. Minimizing (1) distance from content (md) to publishing (html) and (2) maintenance/overhead.
usage
npm install stat-bang
Then:
var statBang = require('stat-bang');
statBang.start(80);
API
One folder
Here's a principle that this project goes by: your public folder is your src folder.
Directory structure
joesul.li
node_modules
stat-bang
server.js
van
content
readme
index.md
template.html
Now, visiting http://joesul.li/van/content/readme will serve index.md, rendered to html and inserted into template.html
Example + Templating
Markdown is a great way to compose in HTML-land, but it's not the whole shebang. So, when the site is rendered, it looks for the nearest template.html ancestor and injects the markdown into it. Check it out:
/content
/hello
index.md
template.html
index.md looks like:
#hi
template.html looks like:
<html>
<!-- content -->
</html>
So,
node server.js &
cat http://joesul.li/van/content/hello
> <html>
> <h1>hi</h1>
> </html>
That's it
Ok, that's enough to get started!
