NOCMS
"NO, You don't need a CMS" is what you are going to tell your boss the next time he comes running waving his arms and yelling incomprehensibly about some new microsite for his wife's pony he wants to make in drupal, wordpress or any of the 1 billion other "let's stuff all your content in a mysql database and front it with some 10 year old php scripts" things that pop up in your facebook feed disguised as content.

CLI Usage
Compile
Compiles all resources in the input directory and writes them to the output directory.
nocms compile --in-dir ./src/ --out-dir ./compiled/Server
Runs a webserver on the port given and compiles resources in the input directory and writes them to the output directory before serving them to the user.
nocms server --in-dir ./src/ --out-dir ./compiled/ --port 1234NOCMS is multithreaded and spins of one worker instance for each cpu as reported by os.cpus().
Plugins
A Plugin is any module that exports an activate function that when invoked registers one or more providers.
export function activate (pluginActivationContext)Plugins installed in node_modules will be activated automatically.
pluginActivationContext
The plugin activation context gives plugins access to provider registration and to IO functions bound to the input and output directories.
- findFiles
- readFile
- registerResourceProvider
- watchFiles
- writeFile
findFiles
Finds files relative to the input directory. Returns a Promise that resolves with an Array of file paths relative to the input directory.
async function findFiles (pattern, options)Parameters:
- pattern: Glob pattern,
- options: Glob options
readFile
Asynchronously reads the contents of a file relative to the input directory. Returns a Promise that resolves with the contents of the file, a String or a Buffer.
async function readFile (file, options)Parameters:
- file: File path relative to the input directory
- options: Same as when calling fs.readFile
registerResourceProvider
Registers a resource provider with NOCMS. See Resource Provider.
function registerResourceProvider (resourceProvider)Parameters:
- resourceProvider: An instance of a resource provider
watchFiles
Watches files relative to the input directory. Returns a chokidar instance.
function watchFiles (pattern, options)Parameters:
- pattern: Glob pattern like
**/!(_)*.json - options: Chokidar options
writeFile
Asynchronously writes a file to the output directory. Automatically creates any missing parts of the file path before writing the file. Returns a promise.
async function writeFile (file, data, options) {}Parameters:
- file: file path relative to the output directory.
- data:
StringorBuffer - options: Same as fs.writeFile
Example:
let html = '<html></html>';
await writeFile('index.html', html, 'utf8');Resource Provider
Resource Providers are responsible for collecting meta data for, and compiling resources. A resource provider has two functions:
getResources
Asynchronously provides an Array of resource objects. A resource must as a minimum have an id field.
async function getResources ()compileResource
Asynchronously compiles a resource object and writes the result to the file system. Returns a Promise that resolves with undefined.
async function compileResource (resource, resourceCompilationContext)Parameters:
- resource: a resource object
- resourceCompilationContext: a resource compilation context.
Resource Compilation Context
The resource compilation context is an object with two fields.
- resourceMap: a id/resource map of all resources from all resource providers
- resourceTree: a resource tree of all resources from all resource providers
The resource compilation context can be used to provide resource meta data to templates during compilation.
Config
Configurations can be written in a .nocmsrc file at the root of the project, and will be served as json to plugins.
