A simple static site generator for Node

This library is in extremely early development and has no error handling

To use:

Install noisey globally ``````npm i -g noisey```

Make a new directory and navigate to it.

Run the following:

npm init

noisey init

This will create two directories - templates and pageData.

Files in pageData should export an array of objects in the following format:

pageData/test.js

const data = [
  {
    fileName: 'test_second', // The name of the html file to be created
    directory: 'build',      // The directory to build the file in
    template: "test",        // The name of the template html file in the templates directory
    data: {                  // Any template variables to be passed to the template
      text: 'Hello world!'
    }
  }
]
module.exports = data;

Data can be acquired from whatever source you want - databases, AJAX, etc. A corresponding template should exist in the templates directory.

Templates are just html files with template literals to insert variables from a pageData file.

templates/test.html:

<h1>${text}</h1>

In this case, each test.js object will create a corresponding html file with the ${text} string replaced with "Hello world!"

To perform a build of the entire site (using all of your pageData files and corresponding templates), run: noisey build

To perform a build only of specified files, run: noisey build dataModule1 dataModule2 etc.

In our example, to build only test.js we would run: noisey build test
