A simple static site generator.

How it works

Gensist grabs a folder of markdown files and generates a website from it. The folder structure and filenames are preserved.

.                           .
└── content                 └── build
    ├── home.md      >>>        ├── home.html
    ├── index.md                ├── index.html
    └── info.md                 └── info.html

Commands

| Command | Info | | -------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | gensist new <name> | Create a new project | | gensist | Build current folder | | gensist build | Build current folder | | gensist watch | Automatically rebuilds yourwebsite and reloads the browsertab when files are changed | | gensist init | Generate missing files. | | gensist -v | Display gensist version |

Getting started:

Install gensist with "npm i -g gensist", generate a new project with "npm new my-website" and start it by running "gensist watch". Your browser should open a new tab and when you now make changes to your files the browser should automatically update the page as soon as you save them.

Config

You can configure gensist by placing a gensist.json file in the root your project (all paths are relative to the gensist.json file).

| Property | Default value | Type | Description | | ---------- | --------------- | ---------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | title | "Gensist" | string | Title of your website - you can customize it further in template.html | | input | content | string | Input folder | | output | build | string | Output folder | | template | template.html | string | The HTML template used to construct each page of your site | | optimize | true | boolean | Tells gensist to compress the HTML/CSS | | style | Not set | string[] | List of stylesheets to apply to the page | | assets | Not set | string | Asset folder for images, fonts, etc. |

If there is no gensist.json, gensist will fall back on this config (all properties are optional):

{
  "title": "Gensist",
  "input": "content",
  "output": "build",
  "template": "template.html",
  "optimize": true
}
