# statigen A static site generator with built-in support for ejs templates and markdown-to-html transformations. **NOTE:** This is still a work in progress, but please feel free to open github issues with any problems you encounter. ## Installation ```bash npm install statigen ``` ## Usage ```bash #generate using the default `src` and `dist` folders npx statigen #generate using custom source and out directories npx statigen --sourceDir source --outDir docs ``` ### Init You can create a new project by running the `init` command. This will create a new directory and copy the default statigen template project. ```bash npx statigen init path/to/new/folder ``` ## Templates By default, html and markdown files will look for a file called `_template` at their level or above. ### HTML templates Place this comment somewhere in your html file, and that's where the other files will have their content embedded ```html ``` For example, __src/file1.md__ ```markdown # Cool title ``` __src/_template.html__ ```html ``` Produces __dist/file1.html ```html

Cool title

``` ## Frontmatter You can add frontmatter to your markdown files which can be used to override certain items. Here are the currently supported values: - `priority` - a number specifying the priority of a file - `parentPriority` - a number to reorder the parent folder for a file - `title` - a title to use instead of the filename - `parentTitle` - a title to use for the parent folder instead of the folder name - `template` - a path to a custom template to use for the current file Here's how you use it: `some-folder/some-file.md` ``` --- priority: 1 parentPriority: 3 title: Some File parentTitle: Some Folder template: custom-template.ejs --- Actual content ```
