Librarian

Static site builder and Markdown document indexer inspired by Hugo but written in PHP.

Packagist PHP from Packagist GitHub Workflow Status (main)

About

Librarian is a static site builder and Markdown document indexer inspired by Hugo but written in PHP. It uses the same format as DEV.to for markdown files with a front matter and liquid tags for custom functionality. The front matter is fluid and doesn't have a fixed spec, meaning you can include any custom fields you want and fetch them from your templates.

Hey there! I'm Librarian, a small file-based CMS and static site generator created in PHP, on top of Minicli. I don't use a database, I don't have a control panel, or users. Everything is pulled from static content in my content dir.

Librarian doesn't use databases, sessions, or users. Administration is made from the command-line. For multiple authors, author information must be defined as metadata within the front matter.

Liquid tags supported at the moment:

Tag Example Description
audio {% audio path_to_mp3.mp3 %} embeds mp3 audio
video {% video path_to_mp4.mp4 %} embeds mp4 video
youtube {% youtube video_ID %} embeds a YouTube video
github {% github file_url %} embeds File from Github (Gists aren't supported at the moment)

Check the doc page on how to create your own custom liquid tags.
