morphic

Node.js Static Site Generator

Usage

mkdir morphic-site

cd morphic-site

git init

echo 'node_modules' > .gitignore

npm i @protolith/morphic@latest

mkdir public

mkdir content

mkdir templates

cd content

echo '---
title: Home
---
# <%= model.title %>
home page content' > index.md

cd ../templates

echo '<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title><%= model.title %></title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <%- model.content %>
  </body>
</html>' > index.ejs

cd ..

With the default files created, from the morphic-site folder run the command:

npx morphic --serve

This will create an output folder containing the generated html, and open a browser window to view.

Build

Clone repo and run:

npm run build

npm run build-typecheck

These commands will compile the typescript src directory to a new folder named dist, containing the javascript output.

Building without typechecking will not pass source files through the typescript compiler (only babel).

Notice

Morphic is very much still a work in progress and is not ready for production use.
