Casaubon
Casaubon is a static site generator written in Rust. I had very specific goals in mind when writing Casaubon and it is not meant to be all things for all people. Casaubon does what it is intended to do and no more.
Goals
- Convention over configuration
- Learn Rust
- Fast compile times
Non-goals
- Extensibility
- Flexibility
Installation
(requires Cargo)
$ cargo install casaubon
Run tests
$ cargo test
Usage
Create a new project
$ casaubon new
Generate HTML files
$ casaubon build
Watch files for changes and rebuild. Note that there is no dev server built in.
$ casaubon watch
build and watch both accept a --drafts flag if you wish to include drafts
in the generated HTML files.
Configuration
Casuabon is not intended to be as flexible as most static site generators.
Currently, the only configuration option is the name of the site, which can be
set in casaubon.toml.
Writing
Casuabon expects the first line of post files to consist of a # followed by a
space and the name of the post, followed by a | and the post date
(YYYY-MM-DD), followed by two newlines. For example:
posts/first-post.md
# First Post | 2000-01-01
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet....
In this example, the post's title would get parsed as "First Post", and the post's body would get parsed as "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...". The slug gets parsed from the filename, and in this case would be 'first-post'.
Templates
Casaubon creates a number of templates for you in the templates directory.
These include:
| Title | Description |
|---|---|
layout.html |
The main layout. All page content gets injected into the {{ contents }} variable. The title of the page is available in the {{ page_title }} variable. |
post.html |
The template for rendering a single post. Variables available include {{ date }}, {{ title }}, and {{ body }}. |
post_listing.html |
This template is for the list of posts on the index page. The {{ post_listing }} variable contains the result of compiling the post_listing_item.html template against each post. |
post_listing_item.html |
This template determines how each post will appear in the main listing. Variables available include {{ date }}, {{ title }}, and {{ slug }}. |
