- What is a writteli?
Writteli is a static site generator, build with KISS principle in heart.
- Another static site generator? Why?
Because I can ;) To be honest, I was not satisfied with any available tools and while I was doing another redesign of my website I decided to create an additional tooling as a side project.
- What technologies writteli use?
Template language is pug, it supports ES6 JavaScript syntax as your website scripts and you can choose between traditional CSS, Sass or Sass with indented syntax.
- Why pug and not Vue? I've heard you are a Vue.js fan?
Yes I am - but this tool is intended to be a STATIC SITE generator, not Single Page one. Besides that, pug is very simple to learn, and still pretty popular.
- How to use it?
Scroll down and read.
- Will be there CLI?
Yes.
- Will be there a GUI version for non-technical people?
Yes.
- Will be there a mobile app?
Maybe, not yet decided.
- What's the license?
It's open source MIT. But keeping the Built with writteli <3 tagline in the footer will be highly appreciated.
- Is it writteli, Writte.li, or Writteli ?
It's writteli (/ˈrʌɪtəli/). The writte.li is the domain name of the whole project.
First, fork this repo to your git account, then clone it to your local machine.
Enter the folder of the project and run npm install command:
npm i
It will install all necessary dependencies.
Rename config--example.js file to config.js (project root folder) or make a file copy with that name (just in case).
If you want to see live changes of your website, you can run a local server using command:
npm run server
It will start local server at localhost:3000.
If you want just to compile final version of your website, you can use compile method:
npm run compile
Compiled website contents will be saved at /output folder.
