## Getting Started

It takes just a few minutes to get up and running with Shokunin Static Site

Generator (SSG).

### Installation

To install Shokunin Static Site Generator (SSG), you need to have the Rust

toolchain installed on your machine. You can install the Rust toolchain by

following the instructions on the [Rust website][14].

Once you have the Rust toolchain installed, you can install Shokunin Static Site

Generator (SSG) using the following command:

```shell

cargo install ssg

```

For simplicity, we have given Shokunin Static Site Generator (SSG) a simple

alias `ssg` which can stand for `Shokunin Site Generator` or

`Static Site Generator`.

You can then run the help command to see the available options and commands:

```shell

ssg --help

```

### Requirements

The minimum supported Rust toolchain version is currently Rust **1.71.1** or

later (stable). It is recommended that you install the latest stable version of

Rust.

### Platform support

Shokunin Static Site Generator (SSG) is supported and tested on the following

platforms and architectures as part of our [CI/CD pipeline][11].

The [GitHub Actions][11] shows the platforms in which the Shokunin Static Site

Generator (SSG) library tests are run.

### Documentation

> ℹ️ **Info:** Please check out our [website][1] for more information.

You can find our documentation on [docs.rs][9], [lib.rs][10] and [crates.io][8].

## Usage

### Command Line Interface (CLI)

The Shokunin Static Site Generator (SSG) library runs in a Terminal window and

can be used to easily generate a static website. To get started, run:

```shell

ssg  --new=docs --content=content --template=template --output=output --serve=public

```

or

```shell

ssg  -n=docs -c=content -t=template -o=output -s=public

```

This creates a new website in a directory called `docs` using the markdown content from the `content` directory and the HTML templates from the `template` directory. The static and compiled HTML files and artefacts are then generated in a `docs` folder.

Shokunin is ideal for hosting your site on GitHub Pages. Simply commit and push the `docs` folder to your main branch, and set the GitHub Pages publishing source to point to that folder.

During development, you can use the `--serve` or `--s` option to start a local development server to preview content changes.

With Shokunin's GFM and theme support, you can focus on writing markdown content while the SSG handles delivering a fast, SEO-friendly site.

#### Arguments

- `-n`, `--new`: The name of the folder for your new website. (required)

- `-c`, `--content`: The directory containing the website markdown content. (required)

- `-t`, `--template`: The directory containing the HTML website templates.

  (required)

- `-o`, `--output`: The directory where the generated website files will be

  saved temporarily. (required)

- `-s`, `--serve`: Run the development server. (optional). The directory from

  which the website will be served. (optional)

### In your project

To use the Shokunin Static Site Generator (SSG) library in your project, add the

following to your `Cargo.toml` file:

```toml

[dependencies]

shokunin = "0.0.29"

```

Add the following to your `main.rs` file:

```rust

extern crate ssg;

use ssg::*;

```

then you can use the Shokunin Static Site Generator (SSG) functions in your

application code.

### Examples

To get started with Shokunin Static Site Generator (SSG), you can use the

examples provided in the `examples` directory of the project.

To run the examples, clone the repository and run the following command in your

terminal from the project root directory.

```shell

cargo run --example example

```

The command will generate a static website based on the configuration details

in the `examples` directory.

```shell

use ssg::compiler::compile;

use std::path::Path;

fn main() -> Result<(), Box> {

    // Define the paths to the build, site, content and template directories.

    let build_path = Path::new("examples/example.com/build");

    let content_path = Path::new("examples/example.com/content");

    let site_path = Path::new("examples/example.com/public");

    let template_path = Path::new("examples/example.com/template");

    compile(build_path, content_path, site_path, template_path)?;

    Ok(())

}

```

The main() function in this code compiles a website from the `content`

directory, using the `template` directory to generate the website files. The

compiled website is saved in the `build` directory and served directly from

the `example.com` directory.

#### Args

- `build_path:` The path to the directory where the compiled website will be

saved.

- `content_path:` The path to the directory containing the website content.

- `site_path:` The path to the directory where the generated website files will

be served from.

- `template_path:` The path to the directory containing the website templates.
