This is using Metalsmith and React to create a static site given params.

git clone [email protected]:holidayextras/static-site-generator.git
cd static-site-generator
npm i
npm run build
  • src src param provided for the .md file directory
  • dataSource the source to pull the content from as a function (or object as described below)
  • dataSource.type This can currently be either hxseo or prismic
  • dataSource.url This is the endpoint url for hxseo or prismic api
  • dataSource.token This is the token to pass in if the endpoint is private
  • templateDir templateDir param provided for the template directory
  • layoutDir layoutDir param provided for the layouts directory
  • destination destination param provided for the output directory
  • assets assets param provided for the assets directory

Optional You can pass in a config param too setup an object used in pages (domain, default agents etc) webpack is optional if you want to create a common js for the site and page specific js files for isomorphic pages. (This will be a link to the webpack.config.js file)

Publishing

This repoistory is available on npm here, if you wish to release a new version simply bump the package.json version number and the build process will take care of the rest.

Redux

To add a store to the SSG build when using React as a template, you can either pass in a store to the src/*.md files or you can pass in a global store into the main SSG setup.

SSG({
  src: path.join( __dirname, '..' ),
  clean: clean,
  config: config,
  showReactIDs: true,
  dataSource: {
    type: 'api',
    token: token,
    initSetup: initSetup,
    state: '../stores/mainStore.js'
  },
  layoutDir: '_layouts',
  templateDir: '_layouts/_templates',
  destination: '_site',
  assets: 'public',
  webpack: 'webpack.config.js'
})

or

---
template: mainTemplate.jsx
baseFile: baseTemplate.jsx
permalink: false
store: '../stores/mainStore.js'
dataSource:
  host: 'api1.example.com'
  port: '80'
  type: 'api1'
  query: '/getPagesFromHere?pages=test/'
  repeater: 'data'
  pageDataField: 'attributes'
  pageNameField: 'pageName'

Building multiple endpoints

You can now build multiple API endpoints within a single app / template group, please see this example on how you can do this.

app/index.js

import config from '../config/'
import initSetup from '../config/initSetup'
const token = '0123456789'

SSG({
  src: path.join( __dirname, '..' ),
  clean: clean,
  config: config,
  showReactIDs: true,
  dataSource: {
    type: 'api',
    token: token,
    initSetup: initSetup
  },
  layoutDir: '_layouts',
  templateDir: '_layouts/_templates',
  destination: '_site',
  assets: 'public',
  webpack: 'webpack.config.js'
})

config/initSetup.js

const token = process.env.HAPI_TOKEN || '9876543210'

const initSetup = params => {
  if ( !params.dataSource.type === 'api1' ) return params
  params.dataSource.query += '&token=' + token
  return params
}

export initSetup

src/api1.md

template: mainTemplate.jsx
baseFile: baseTemplate.jsx
permalink: false
dataSource:
  host: 'api1.example.com'
  port: '80'
  type: 'api1'
  query: '/getPagesFromHere?pages=test/'
  repeater: 'data'
  pageDataField: 'attributes'
  pageNameField: 'pageName'

template: mainTemplate.jsx
baseFile: baseTemplate.jsx
permalink: false
dataSource:
  host: 'api2.example.com'
