Aglio Default Theme

This is Olio, the default theme engine for Aglio. It takes an API Blueprint AST and renders it into static HTML. Example use:

$ sudo npm install -g aglio
$ aglio -i blueprint.apib -o MyAPI.html

Theme engines for Aglio are described in more detail in the Aglio documentation.

Design Philosophy

Olio is designed from the ground up to be both fast and extensible while maintaining backward compatibility with most of the original Aglio theme. It uses the following technologies:

• Less to produce CSS
• Markdown-it to render Markdown
• Jade to produce HTML
• Highlight.js to highlight code snippets

For backward compatibility, Jade templates can continue to use inline Stylus and CoffeeScript.

Theme Options

Olio comes with a handful of configurable theme options. These are set via the --theme-XXX parameter, where XXX is one of the following:

Name	Description
condense-nav	Whether to condense nagivation for resources with only a single action (default is true).
full-width	Whether to use the full page width or a responsive layout (default is responsive).
style	LESS or CSS to control the layout and style of the document using the variables from below. Can be a path to your own file or one of the following presets: default. May be an array of paths and/or presets.
template	Jade template to render HTML. Can be a path to your own file or one of the following presets: default.
variables	LESS variables that control theme colors, fonts, and spacing. Can be a path to your own file or one of the following presets: default, flatly, slate, cyborg. May be an array of paths and/or presets.

Note: When using this theme programmatically, these options are cased like you would expect in Javascript: --theme-full-width becomes options.themeFullWidth.

Benchmark

Olio makes use of aggressive caching whenever it can, which means that rendering HTML can be blazing fast. Benchmark taken on a 2015 Macbook Pro via BENCHMARK=1 aglio -i example.apib -o example.html:

Step	Cached	No cache
Parse API Blueprint	44ms	44ms
Get CSS	1ms	49ms
Get template	2ms	102ms
Call template	28ms	32ms
Total time	75ms	227ms
