The first assignment in OSD requires us to build a simple Static Site Generator(SSG) using any programming language we hope to. I choose node.js since I want to find out more about this tool.
1. My SSG - Introduction
My Static Site Generator is created with the purpose of converting a .txt file into a .html file without having to author any HTML by hand. During the course, this tool will be updated with more and more features.
2. My SGG - Features
- Allows user to specify a URL to a CSS stylesheet if they want to.
- If users’ input is a folder, an
index.htmlfile will be generated automatically and linked to other generated HTML files. - All generated HTML files will be stored in
./distfolder which is created by default.
3. My SGG - Options
Note: -o or --output option hasn't been applied yet.
4. My SGG - Usage
node index.js -i testing.txt
node index.js -i testing
node index.js -i 'Silver Blaze.txt' -s 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/water.css@2/out/water.css'
Note: With file name contains white space, it should be placed inside single('') or double("") quotation mark.
5. My SSG - Example
testing.txt -> command: node index.js -i testing.txt -s https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/water.css@2/out/water.css
This is a sentence!
This is a paragraph: Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the
industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s.
Transfered into:
./dist/testing.html
