This is an older project I was working on.
The goal is to provide a way to render static .gohtml files with dynamic data.
For example, if the user has the following file tree under a directory named project:
- _statikit/
- schema/
- animals/
- index.toml
- index.toml
- animals/
- config.toml
- schema/
- animals/
- index.gohtml
- templates/
- head.html
- index.gohtml
With the following data for each file:
_statikit/config.toml
Ignore = ["templates"]_statikit/schema/index.toml
[Data]
Name = "Golang"
[FileSub]
Head = "templates/head.html"_statikit/schema/animals/index.toml
[Data]
Name = "Gopher"
[FileSub]
Head = "templates/head.html"templates/head.html
<head><title>Golang rocks!</title></head>index.gohtml
{{.FileSub.Head}}
<p>A fun language to use for programming is {{.Data.Name}}.</p>animals/index.gohtml
{{.FileSub.Head}}
<p>A cute animal is the {{.Data.Name}}.</p>And the program is run as follows:
statikit render project
Then the following files are produced:
- animals/
- index.html
- index.html
With contents:
index.html
<head><title>Golang rocks!</title></head>
<p>A fun language to use for programming is Golang.</p>animals/index.html
<head><title>Golang rocks!</title></head>
<p>A cute animal is the Gopher.</p>The project was intended to provide a way to create a blog, and to add new blogposts all one would have to do is add a new blogpost TOML file and re-render.
- The project uses afero to be able to generalize the file system. This could provide the ability to render directly into cloud storage such as a github pages repo, or an azure file blob storage (unfinished)
- The renderer uses goroutines to parallelize the rendering process and make it more efficient. (finished)
