ℹ️ Info: Please check out our website for more information. You can find our documentation on docs.rs, lib.rs and crates.io.
The Shokunin (職人) Static Site Generator library runs in a Terminal window and can be used to generate a static website.
Here’s the first command you can enter in your Terminal window to run Shokunin (職人) Static Site Generator:
shell
ssg --new=mysite --content=content --template=template --output=output --serve=public
or
shell
ssg -n=mysite -c=content -t=template -o=output -s=public
This command will create a new website with the name mysite in the current directory. It will use the content directory to gather the website content and the template directory to generate the website files. It will serve the website directly from the mysite directory.
-n, --new: The name of the new website. (required)-c, --content: The directory containing the website content. (required)-t, --template: The directory containing the website templates. (required)-o, --output: The directory where the generated website files will be saved temporarily. (required)-s, --serve: Run the development server. (optional). The directory from which the website will be served.To use the Shokunin (職人) Static Site Generator library in your project, add the following to your Cargo.toml file:
toml
[dependencies]
shokunin = "0.0.12"
Add the following to your main.rs file:
rust
extern crate ssg;
use ssg::*;
then you can use the Shokunin (職人) Static Site Generator functions in your application code.
To get started with Shokunin (職人) Static Site Generator, you can use the examples provided in the examples directory of the project.
To run the examples, clone the repository and run the following command in your terminal from the project root directory.
shell
cargo run --example example
The command will generate a static website based on the configuration details in the examples directory.
```shell use ssg::compiler::compile; use std::path::Path;
fn main() -> Result<(), Box
compile(build_path, content_path, site_path, template_path)?;
Ok(())
} ```
The main() function in this code compiles a website from the content directory, using the template directory to generate the website files. The compiled website is saved in the build directory and served directly from the example.com directory.
build_path: The path to the directory where the compiled website will be saved.content_path: The path to the directory containing the website content.site_path: The path to the directory where the generated website files will be served from.template_path: The path to the directory containing the website templates.The main() function returns a Result. If the compilation is successful, the Result will be Ok(()). If there is an error, the Result will be Err(e), where e is a Box
