ssg-zero

A static site generator powered powered by Node.js to build your templates in a simple way while not depending on anything but Node.js*.

*: For development TypeScript and Prettier are used, I'm not that crazy

How does it work

ssg-zero scans all files in an input directory, for each file one of 3 actions is carried out based on the file extension:

1. If the file extension is unknown to your config, the file is ignored
2. If the file extension is listend in passthrough, the file is copied to the out directory
3. If for the file extension a renderer is listed in templates, its used to render the template. The content may be placed in the layout provided in the json frontmatter.

Why tho?

At the time this project started I was frustrated with missing documentation on how to build plugins for the static site generator I used back then. I also didn't want to orchestrate dozens of plugins as dependency. So I took the challenge to build my own static site generator.
