Page TS

A typescript static website DSL

b.div.class("content").with((c) => {
    c.h1.text("Home Page");
});

Getting Started

npm i pagets

Add the following scripts to your package.json

"scripts": {
    "prep": "pagets-css",
    "assemble": "pagets-assemble",
    "serve": "pagets-serve"
},

Add a pagets-config.json to your root project. Ex:

{
    "publicDir": "./public",
    "stylesLess": [
        "./styles/main.less"
    ],
    "entryFile": "index.ts"
}

Add a tsconfig.json file. Ex:

{
  "compilerOptions": {
    "target": "ES2020",
    "module": "ES2020",
    "strict": true,
    "outDir": "./dist",
    "moduleResolution": "node"
  },
  "include": [
    "src/**/*"
  ],
  "exclude": [
    "node_modules",
    "**/*.spec.ts"
  ],
  "ts-node": {
    "esm": true
  }
}

Create your your entry file:

buildStatic({
  assemble: () => [homePage, aboutUs],
});

Your entry file defines the pages to be assembled.

Define your pages:

export const homePage = {
  path: "/",
  title: "Home",
  description: "A Static Website",
  buildHead: (h: HeaderTag) => { /* Only required for custom header tags */ },
  buildBody: (b: BodyTag) => {
        b.div.class("content").with((c) => {
          c.h1.text("Home Page");
        });
    }
} as PageContract;

export const aboutUs = {
  path: "/aboutus",
  title: "About Us",
  description: "A Static Website - About Us",
  buildHead: (h: HeaderTag) => {},
  buildBody: (b: BodyTag) => {
      b.div.class("content").with((c) => {
        c.h1.text("About Us");
      });
    }
} as PageContract;

Finally, run the following script:

npm run assemble

Your LESS styles will be assembled during this time. If the class("...") typesafty shows an error, run npm run prep. You will need to run this if you update your styles. Or run assemble.

Feel free to preview your site using:

npm run serve
