This package provides utilities for reading and writing documents from an abstract filesystem.
Use read() to create an async iterable collection of documents, and write() to handle rendering and storing.
This project is structured as a toolkit split to many packages, published under the @static-pages namespace on NPM. In most cases you should not use this io package directly, but the @static-pages/starter is a good point to begin with.
import staticPages from '@static-pages/core';
import { read, write } from '@static-pages/io/node';
staticPages({
from: read({
cwd: 'pages',
pattern: '**/*.md',
}),
controller(data) {
data.now = new Date().toJSON();
return data;
},
to: write({
render({ title, content, now }) {
return `<html><body><h1>${title}</h1><p>${content}</p><p>generated: ${now}</p></body></html>`;
},
})
})
.catch(error => {
console.error('Error:', error);
console.error(error.stack);
});For detailed information, visit the project page.

cwd?: string;
// Callback that retrieves the filename (URL) of a page.

// Callback that renders the document into a page.

}You can provide a Filesystem implementation for both read() and write() helpers. This interface is a minimal subset of the NodeJS FS API.
interface Filesystem {
stat(
path: string | URL,
callback: (err: Error | null, stats: { isFile(): boolean; isDirectory(): boolean; }) => void
): void;
readdir(
path: string | URL,
options: {
encoding: 'utf8';
withFileTypes: false;
recursive: boolean;
},
callback: (err: Error | null, files: string[]) => void,
): void;
mkdir(
path: string | URL,
options: {
recursive: true;
},
callback: (err: Error | null, path?: string) => void
): void;
readFile(
path: string | URL,
callback: (err: Error | null, data: Uint8Array) => void
): void;
writeFile(
path: string | URL,
data: string | Uint8Array,
callback: (err: Error | null) => void
): void;
}When using the default parser, a file type will be guessed by the file extension.
These could be json, yaml, yml, md or markdown.
-
jsonwill be parsed withJSON.parse -
yamlandymlwill be parsed with theyamlpackage -
mdandmarkdownwill be parsed with thegray-matterpackage
When the document is missing an url property this function will assign the filename without extension to it.
The @static-pages/io/node export provides the same functions as the @static-pages/io with the added benefit of setting the default value of the fs property to the node:fs package.
This way it is easier to use these utility functions from a node script and also easier to bundle them for browsers.
Create an issue describing your needs! If it fits the scope of the project I will implement it.
