Editing

To add new static assets add them to the public folder. To add new templated pages create a new template in the templates folder with the base file of:

{{defeine "head"}}
# This can be left empty but is needed to prevent errors
{{end}}
{{define "content"}}
# Content goes here
{{end}}

The go program follows the following logic:

• Remove build folder if exists
• Create new build folder
• Copy all assets inside public to build folder
• Load the config.yaml file
• Run every template in the templates directory and add those to the build folder with the config context

Adding new config values

To add new values to a template you need to add the parameter to the Config stuct in config.go e.g

type Config struct {
    .... Existing data
    NewData string `yaml:"newData"`
}

and then to the config.yaml file

... Existing data
newData: new value

This can then be referenced in the templates by .NewData

Building

There is a github action set to automatically build and publish the site when pushed to the master branch

Troublshooting

variable is an unexported field

Variables in structs need to start with a capital letter to be exported
