# Site-O-Mat - Core

Generating a Website as Html-Files from a Markdown-File Structure.

Why? The Main reason i had to update some Websites, but realize there were no benefit
to use a Full CMS or Headless CMS like Directus. Rendering the same pages that a rarely updated
seems like a waste of energy. Why not generate from a hierarchical file structure. Luckily i
i had development a CMS, a few years ago, that runs on Markdown Files it had been never
finished, it was only a proof of concept. But now it works for created a entire Website.

## Roadmap

Next will be,

* Some more Tests

Maybe later,

* Integrate Eta.js and LiquidJS
* Hooks for handle generic content

## Images for Tests 

No Dogs were harmed during the Tests, all Images are under cc0 and from [pexels.com](https://www.pexels.com/creative-commons-images/).

## Installation

Setup this registry in your project .npmrc file:

```
@site-o-mat:registry=https://gitea.node001.net/api/packages/site-o-mat/npm/
```

or run
```
npm config set @site-o-mat:registry=https://gitea.node001.net/api/packages/site-o-mat/npm/
```

Install with npm or yarn

```
npm i --save-dev @site-o-mat/core
yarn add --dev @site-o-mat/core
```

## Configuration

Basic Usage:

```
const Siteomat = require('@site-o-mat/core')

const siteomat = new Siteomat(<source>, <destination>, {
    <options>
})

```

| Name        | Type      | Default | Description |
|-------------|-----------|---------|-------------|
| destination | {String}  | null    | If not set, it will use the public path |
| htmlMinify  | {Boolean} | true    | Minify Html and remove all Whitespace |

## Pages

Pages are Markdown-Files, they are separates in two parts. First part is a yaml-Section,

```
---
title: "health goth DIY tattooed"
view: "home.njk"
meta:
    description: "La"
media:
    teaser:
        src: "_images/test.jpeg"
        alt: "cold-pressed"
---
```

The yaml-Section will be parsed as an Object and available in the Templates. The
second part of the File will be parsed as Markdown, but it could be also empty.

After parsing Markdown-Files a Page always this values,

| Name        | Type      | Default  | Description |
|-------------|-----------|----------|-------------|
| path        | {String}  | /        | Full path with File |
| permalink   | {String}  | -1       | Full path without Extensions, index.html will be empty |
| filename    | {String}  | null     | Name of File |
| hidden      | {Boolean} | false    | If hidden, file will not be written |
| blocks      | {Object}  | Object   | Blocks of Directory |
| content     | {String}  | empty    | Parsed Markdown |
| view        | {String}  | page.njk | Tempate to render file | 
  
## Nesting

A Page can be a single Markdown-File, or a Directory with a index-File inside.
The Name of a file or a directory will the name of the html-File. To create Sub-pages,
create Sub-directories.

This Structure,

```
index.md
about-me.md
blog
└ index.md
  belly-polaroid-subway.md
```

will be,

```
index.html
about-me.html
blog.html
blog/belly-polaroid-subway.html
```

## Blocks

Each Page can have Blocks. Blocks are like Pages, but they are only accessible
for a single Page. To add Blocks to a page, add a "_blocks"-Directory
to the Directory of the Page.

Markdown-Files in a "_blocks"-Directory will be automatic accessible for a Page. The yaml-Section is Optional.

```
recipes
└ index.md
  _blocks
  └ hero-1.md
    hero-2.md
    hero-3.md
```

Blocks will be Grouped by there name, and sorted by the number at the end. The "hero"-Files
can be used like this,

```
{% hero in page.blocks.hero %}
    {{ hero.content }}
{% endFor %}
```

## Media 

Image Files can be add to the Markdown-Structure and will be processed by [Sharp](https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/).

```
recipes
└ index.md
  _images
  └ dog.jpg
```

In Fields all keys with "src" will be handled as Path to Images. Files will be search first 
in current Directory of page, if nothing found, it will be search in Root-Directory of 
Markdown-Structure. Blocks can also have there own Images.

```

title: "health goth DIY tattooed"
view: "home.njk"
meta:
    description: "La"
media:
    teaser:
        src: "_images/dog.jpg"
        alt: "cold-pressed"
---
```

It is also possible to add multiple Sizes. For more, check [Sharp](https://sharp.pixelplumbing.com/).

```
---
title: "health goth DIY tattooed"
view: "home.njk"
meta:
    description: "La"
media:
    teaser:
        src:
            src: '_images/dog.jpg'
            sizes: 
                - width: 300
                - width: 500
                  height: 100
        alt: "cold-pressed"
---
```

Options from Sharp can be add on two different ways. As "options" for all Sizes or 
you can simply add options to a sizes, that means the main options will be ignored.

        alt: "cold-pressed"
        options:
            position: 'right'
---
```

## Queries

Queries can be used in Templates to get Pages.

### Pages

```
pageQuery.find()
```

or with options,

| Name        | Type      | Default | Description |
|-------------|-----------|---------|-------------|

| deep        | {Integer} | -1      | Deep of Recursive |
| orderBy     | {Array}   | null    | Name of field sorting, a "-" in front of the. Nested fields are also possible. |
| limit       | {Integer} | null    | Limit results |
| filter      | {Object}  | null    | Filtering results by Fields in yaml |

#### Filter

## Sitemap

Sitemap will be generating by Pages. Pages will be only add to Sitemap, if the have meta-robots is set
to "index". Pages default is "index".

## Templates

At this Time only [https://mozilla.github.io/nunjucks/](Nunjunks) is used for Templating.

### Nunjunks

#### Functions

##### asset(path)

This function handle manifest-File from [https://laravel-mix.com/](Laravel-Mix).

```
<script src="{{ asset('js/app.js') }}"></script>
```

## Json

Results from PageQuery can also be created as json-File. The can use with a
simple API [https://gitea.node001.net/site-o-mat/api](https://gitea.node001.net/site-o-mat/api). Create a
File "json.yml" and add options.

Basic Usage:

```
posts:
    orderBy:
        - '-date_published'
    filter:
        view:
            _eq: 'post.njk'
```
