Acetate

Acetate is a page generating framework for static websites. It is built to be easy to integrate into existing build processes and tools, easy to extend, and developer friendly.

Usage

Acetate is generally intended to be used with a build system like Grunt, Gulp, or NPM scripts. There are several sample repositories showing how to do this:

• Grunt - Coming soon
• Gulp - Coming soon
• Command-line/NPM scripts

Quickstart

It's also easy to get started with Acetate or integrate Acetate into an existing project:

1. Install the Acetate CLI: npm install acetate-cli -g
2. Create a new Node JS project: npm init
3. Install Acetate in your project npm install acetate --save-dev
4. Create a folder to hold the source of your site and create an index.md file. mkdir src && echo 'Hello Acetate.' > src/index.md
5. Start the local server: acetate server --open

Changelog

[2.1.0] - 2019-05-30

• createPage.fromTemplate can now accept a function as its first parameter. This function gets all metadata and should return the src.
• createPage.fromTemplate will now also check for and load external PAGENAME.metadata.json or PAGENAME.metadata.yaml as metadata. This metadata is treated as default metadata and inline metadata in the template file will override it.
