Tox
With Tox you can create node.js websites with markdown files. All your content will be stored in the markdown files you create. Tox is design to work with Express, but it will work without a framework and also with any other node.js web framework. It supports yaml inside three dashes ---
section at the start and at the end in the header of the markdown file.
Install Tox
npm install tox
Tox with Express
This example is using Express 3.
var express = require('express')
, app = express()
, tox = require('tox');
app.engine('html', require('ejs').renderFile);
app.set('views', 'path/to/views')
app.set('view engine', 'html');
// Set tox options
tox.set({
path: 'path/to/markdown',
viewFile: 'page'
});
app.get('/*', tox.page);
app.listen(4000);
Tox without Express
This example is using the standard node http server. tox.page
will return an object containing all yaml properties and the tox
property containing the html code.
var http = require('http')
, tox = require('tox');
tox.set('path', 'path/to/markdown');
http.createServer(function (req, res) {
res.writeHead(200, {'Content-Type': 'text/html'});
res.end(tox.page(req.url).tox);
}).listen(4000);
