dynamically-generated-static-site

This project demonstrates how to build a static site just like you build a dynamic server-based site with the following approach:

Build a regular server-based site and pre-render all possible routes to static HTML files (and just bundle up all of the other static front-end assets). Your site then becomes a dynamically generated static site and you will have infinite flexibility.

Demo URL: http://patrick-steele-idem.github.io/dynamically-generated-static-site/

Technologies used:

• Express - Server-side web "framework"
• Marko - Templating engine
• Lasso.js - Asset pipeline and JavaScript module bundler

Get started

Installation

git clone https://github.com/patrick-steele-idem/dynamically-generated-static-site.git
cd dynamically-generated-static-site
npm install

Start the server

node server.js

Open http://localhost:8080/ in your browser to test it out

You can also use browser-refresh to start your server for instant page refreshes as you work on your site:

browser-refresh server.js

Preview a static build of the site

rm -rf build/ .cache/

NODE_ENV=production node build.js

./node_modules/.bin/http-server build/
