brunocassol.com source code

This is the code for https://brunocassol.com which is hosted by Github Pages.

It is neatly generated by exporting a Joplin's notebook, processed using node joplin_to_github.js and then pushed to this repo which is served by GitHub Pages.

The process is described here: https://brunocassol.com/blog/2023-02-08-How-I-blog-using-joplins-EXPORT-HTML-Di.html

Steps

• In Joplin Desktop app, right click brunocassol.com notebook and export it to HTML Directory in C:\dev\pessoal\ww9.github.io.
• In this project directory, run npm install
• Then run node joplin_to_github.js
• It will convert the notebook to html and generate files in docs which is what GitHub pages is configured to serve in https://brunocassol.com/
• It will also clear C:\dev\pessoal\ww9.github.io\bruno.cassol.com directory for your next export.
• Finally it will also start a local expressjs webserver so you can preview the generated pages of docsin your browser.
• If you're happy with changes, I commit and push to GitHub. A few mminutes later my website is updated.

Can we export using commnadline instead of a manual GUI interaction?

Nope because HTML Directory export is not supported by Joplin commandline:

npm -g install joplin

joplin --profile "/c/Users/dev/.config/joplin-desktop" export --format html --notebook "ab08048c2f774ee6a35c499493a8c458" expo rt_dir

Outputs: "HTML export is not supported. Please use the desktop application."
