Publish
Publish is a static site generator and type-safe templating engine that converts structured content and metadata into static HTML files. It functions as a content pipeline orchestrator, allowing the definition of website layouts and themes where metadata maps to visual elements via type-safe code.
The system includes a plugin system for injecting custom logic to mutate content, modify parsing, or enforce site-wide rules. It also features a mechanism for conditional build step execution, ensuring specific publishing tasks only run when predefined criteria are met.
The project covers hierarchical content management using file system-based organization and custom metadata definitions. It provides integrated tools for code syntax highlighting, a local development server for previewing changes, and a deployment utility for pushing generated content to remote servers via version control systems.
Features
- Static Site Generators - Functions as a static site generator that converts structured content and metadata into static HTML files.
- Content Management & Publishing - Orchestrates a publishing pipeline with plugins and conditional build steps to automate content processing.
- Content Hierarchy Management - Organizes website pages and assets into nested directory structures to maintain a clear content hierarchy.
- Content Organization Systems - Groups items within nested folders to create structured directory trees for the generated website.
- Document Metadata Definitions - Allows structured metadata values to be attached to content items using a simplified markup syntax.
- Website Builders - Produces entire websites using type-safe code to define site structure, sections, and item metadata.
- Content Transformation Pipelines - Manages a workflow of conditional build steps and custom plugins to mutate content during site generation.
- Filesystem Hierarchies - Uses the physical directory structure of source files to determine website navigation and nesting.
- Plugin Systems - Provides a system for injecting custom logic into the publishing process to mutate content or modify parsing.
- Extensible Processing Pipelines - Provides an extensible pipeline that allows external logic to intercept and mutate content via predefined hooks.
- Templating Engines - Maps structured content metadata to HTML elements using a strongly typed programming interface.
- Type-Safe Theme Customization - Provides a type-safe engine for creating custom layouts and templates that map metadata to visual elements.
- Templating Engines - Implements a type-safe templating engine where content metadata maps to visual elements via strongly typed code.
- Data-Driven Layouts - Matches specific content attributes to corresponding template files to determine the visual representation of pages.
- Conditional Task Execution - Implements logic to trigger specific publishing tasks only when predefined environment criteria are met.
- Version Control Deployments - Supports pushing generated site content to remote hosts using integrated version control system support.
- Conditional Step Execution - Allows specific publishing tasks to run only when predefined criteria are met during site generation.
