Sometimes you need a quick way to generate a static web site and put it up on a server. Here is how you can generate a static website with
wheezy.template.
Let's suppose the following
structure of the site:
content/
`- index.html
- main.html
shared/
`- master.html
snippet/
`- script.html
- widget.html
shared/master.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
@def title():
No Title
@end
<title>@title() - My Site</title>
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="placeholder">
@def content():
@end
@content()\
</div>
</div>
@include('shared/snippet/script.html')
</body>
</html>
shared/snippet/script.html:
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
shared/snippet/widget.html:
@def header(msg):
<h1>
@msg!h
</h1>
@end
index.html:
@extends('shared/master.html')
@import 'shared/snippet/widget.html' as widget
@def title():
Hello, World!
@end
@def content():
@widget.header('Welcome')
@end
Environment
You need to install
wheezy.template package and optional dependency
wheezy.html (for whitespace removal and optimized HTML escape):
virtualenv env
env/bin/pip install wheezy.template wheezy.html
Generate
A single page can be generated like this:
env/bin/wheezy.template content/index.html
The result will be displayed on screen and you can redirect it to some file. Here is an example how to do that in a batch:
cd content
mkdir /tmp/site
find . -name '*.html' -not -path './shared/*' \
-exec sh -c '../env/bin/wheezy.template -w {} \
> /tmp/site/{}' \;
Context
Optionally you can specify a generation
context which can be a file or JSON string:
@require(name)
Hello, @name!
{ "name": "World" }
wheezy.template hello.txt hello.json
You can specify several contexts to override some values:
wheezy.template hello.txt hello.json '{"name": "John"}'
