# Make Site # author: Jonathan Bernard # # Stupid-simple static site generator. Operates on the current working # directory. Outputs rendered HTML to a directory named 'rendered'. Reads in an # HTML template from a file 'template.html'. Walks the current working directory # looking for files with the '.rst' extension, splits out optional front-matter # (JSON), compiles the rest into HTML fragments, stuffs the fragments into the # template and write an HTML file at the same relative path in the 'rendered' # directory with the same filename (extension changed to .html). import json, nre, os, osproc from strutils import endsWith, rfind # Read in the template let htmlTemplate = readFile("template.html") let contentKey = re"<%CONTENT%>" let mdExtRe = re"md$" let tempFile = "temp.make_site.md" # Make our output directory if necessary. if not dirExists("rendered"): createDir("rendered") # Walk the directory looking for .md files. for file in walkDirRec("."): if not file.endsWith(".md"): continue echo "> Rendering " & file var renderedTemplate = htmlTemplate var mdDoc: string let outputFile = "rendered/" & file.replace(mdExtRe, "html") let outputDir = "rendered/" & file[0..file.rfind('/')] if not existsDir(outputDir): createDir(outputDir) # Split out front-matter let docSplit = file.readFile.split(re"\+\+\+", 2) # Parse the front-matter (if there is any) if docSplit.len > 1: let metadata = json.parseJson(docSplit[0]) mdDoc = docSplit[1] for key, value in metadata: let replKey = re("<%" & key & "%>") renderedTemplate = htmlTemplate.replace(replKey, value.getStr) else: mdDoc = docSplit[0] # Compile the file into an HTML fragment writeFile(tempFile, mdDoc) let htmlDoc = execProcess("markdown " & tempFile) renderedTemplate = renderedTemplate.replace(contentKey, htmlDoc) writeFile(outputFile, renderedTemplate) removeFile(tempFile)
