Statix is a minialistic static website generator.
Statix uses Swig as the default templating engine (if you're familiar with Django templates, Jinja or Twig, you'll feel right at home).
However, the beauty of Statix is that it supports a large amount of templating engines, so you can use whatever you want! (Thanks to consoldiate.js).
$ npm install -g statix
Statix is super minimalistic and thus only has 3 commands.
$ statix new
$ statix build
$ statix server
$ statix new project-name
$ cd project-name
You can run statix new from anywhere. Running statix new will generate a new project-name folder in the current directory. The generated folder will have a statix.js file, and a couple
other files as an example.
Statix projects only need a statix.js file at the root of the directory. After you're familiar with Statix, you'll probably want to create a template folder that has a more tailored statix.js file and other boilerplate type stuff and instead of using statix new you'll just
use that folder as a base for your projects.
If you open statix.js, you can see all the options available. Comments are included next to each property.
cd into project name and run statix build. Compare the source and deploy directories to get an idea of what Statix is doing.
You can run statix build in any directory that has a statix.js file.
Statix has a local webserver, for convenience. This means that you can view your project without having to rebuild everytime.
$ cd project-name
$ statix server
By default Statix, binds the webserver to port 8000. You can change this in the statix.js file.
Go into statix.js and change
template_engine : "swig",
to
template_engine : "jade",
or
template_engine : "hogan",
Yep! It's that easy!
Note: Only template engines supported by consolidate.js will work. If you want support for another template engine, fork consolidate.js and issue a pull request.
