**Everything is documented on [couscous.io](https://couscous.io/).**

What follows is the documentation for contributors.

## How Couscous works?

Couscous was designed to be as simple as possible. By embracing simplicity, it becomes extremely simple to extend.

### Website generation

The website generation is composed of a list of **steps** to process the `Project` model object:

```php

interface Step

{

    /**

     * Process the given project.

     *

     * @param Project $project

     */

    public function __invoke(Project $project);

}

```

Steps are very granular, thus extremely easy to write and test. For example:

- `LoadConfig`: load the `couscous.yml` config file

- `InstallDependencies`: install the dependencies (using yarn, npm or bower)

- `LoadMarkdownFiles`: load the content of all the `*.md` files in memory

- `RenderMarkdown`: render the markdown content

- `WriteFiles`: write the in-memory processed files to the target directory

- …

For example, here is a step that would preprocess Markdown files to put the word "Couscous" in bold:

```php

class PutCouscousInBold implements \Couscous\Step

{

    public function __invoke(Project $project)

    {

        /** @var MarkdownFile[] $markdownFiles */

        $markdownFiles = $project->findFilesByType('Couscous\Model\MarkdownFile');

        foreach ($markdownFiles as $file) {

            $file->content = str_replace('Couscous', '**Couscous**', $file->content);

        }

    }

}

```

Couscous uses [PHP-DI](https://php-di.org/) for wiring everything together with dependency injection.

The full list of steps is configured in [`src/Application/config.php`](src/Application/config.php).

### Website deployment

Couscous deploys by cloning (in a temp directory) the current repository, checking out the `gh-pages` branch, generating the website inside it, committing and pushing.

In the future, Couscous will support several deployment strategies.
