Please consider using [pachacamac/sessg] instead. It should be considerably better than this one. Also this one is not further developed anymore.
A tiny static site generator packing a punch
Jing tai wang ye sheng cheng qi 静态网页生成器
Has built in support for Erb - and Markdown templates, Typescript compiler, Sass compiler, JavaScript/Css minifier, partial- and layout support, variable support, easily extendable, updates your page as soon as you change a file.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'jing'And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install jing
call jing on the command line or have a look at the code (it's tiny) :)
Creates a new folder mypage or updates an existing one and adds a basic setup:
$ jing create mypage
$ cd mypage
Build the current project:
$ jing build
Automatically build the page whenever a file in the project folder changes:
$ jing watch
$ jing watch -full_build true # to not skip uglifying js files (slower)
Serves the current projects _dst folder on http://0.0.0.0:8000:
$ jing serve
$ jing serve -no_auto_reload true # to not inject auto page reload code into html files
$ jing serve -port 1234 -root somepath # to change port and root directory
Options that work in all commands:
-src somepath # changes the source folder - default: ./ (current folder)
-dst somepath # changes the output folder - default: ./_dst
-layouts folder # changes the layouts folder - default: ./_layouts
-partials folder # changes the partials folder - default: ./_partials
Show current version
$ jing version
File endings work like Russian dolls: They get converted from outer to inner. Rails folks should be somewhat familiar with that but here it's a bit stricter.
Folders starting with _ have special meaning, they generally won't get copied into the destination folder _dst.
_partials holds partials (TODO: explanation)
_layouts holds layouts (TODO: explanation)
`_dst' holds the generated site
.meta.yml holds global meta variables available in templates when not overwritten
I'll try and add a basic example project soon. Check out the examples folder. If you feel like giving this a try and have questions feel free to open an issue or reach out otherwise. Pull requests welcome too.
Extending is fairly easy.
@converters variable in the initialize method holds a bunch of converters. Just add one in the spirit of the others.
Class methods that end in a bang ! automatically are registered as cli commands. If you wish to add a command just add a bang-method and you should be done.
Feel free to open issues for questions / ideas etc that you don't know how to work on or have no time working on as well as actual bugs and quirky etc. I'm sure there are some.
Please fork and make a pull request if you want to contribute.
Check out the examples folder, or this repository for a full fledged example that is directly deployable to netlify.
Bug reports and pull requests are welcome on GitHub at https://github.com/pachacamac/jing.
