Usage

Creating pages and files

Simply create all file needed in the build function in src/build/index.ts. You can use any framework you want, the predefined one when using create-dante-site is React.

We strongly recommend to use the createFile function exported from dante to create file as it will take care of replacing $hash in the file name with the actual file hash.

The function must return an object containing the following properties:

• css: A css to be injected in each generated HTML page.

All properties can be (async) function that will be called for each page at runtime.

Customizing the server

If you want to customize the local server, you can create a setupServer function in src/build/server.ts. The function will receive a fastify server instance and build context.

The function can optionally return an object containing the following properties:

• directory: A subdirectory in the dist folder to server HTML files from.

Exporting

Once you have done editing, you should execute dante build. The website will be exported in the dist folder.

Adding commands to Dante

You can create a file src/build/cli.ts that should export a setupCLI function. The function will received a commander program and a pino logger in order to modify the Dante CLI.

Customize create-dante-site

You can create a file src/build/create.ts that should export a createSetupCLI function. The function will received a commander program and a pino logger in order to modify the Dante CLI.
