# Dragon

Website Content Management System using Embedded Elixir templates (EEX)







___BETA___ — fairly feature complete, but needs some sea trials. See the [TODO](docs/todo.md) for more info.

Dragon is a content management system similar to Jekyll, but using Elixir and

EEX templates, along with some improvements to behavior

(cue [xkcd comic](https://xkcd.com/927/)). It is the static-site

generator counterpoint to the Elixir Phoenix appserver.

If you are familiar with Jekyll, you should be able to migrate fairly easily.

Benefits of Dragon:

* Templates using powerful EEX rather than liquid. This comes with a feature-rich

  environment for all sorts of functionality (limited only by Elixir/EEX).

* Robust and extensible data handling system

* Very little "magic" and hard assertions. Other than the top level configuration

  file, the rest of it is up to how you configure your project.

* Relative includes! No need for files scattered all over in include folders,

  just include it from your local path. You can still use library folders if you

  so desire, in any location you choose (starting an included file with a slash

  resolves that file based on the project root, rather than relatively to the

  current file) — see [Using](docs/using.md) for more details.

For more information see: [Using](docs/using.md).

## Example:



## Known Issues

* when running in dragon.serve development mode, something with

  Bandit/Plug/SendFile/browser is keeping open files instead of closing them

  between each query. This means eventually elixir runs out of file descriptors

  and crashes.

  For now, just restart.

  We are looking into finding out what's keeping these open. (for those interested:

  it happens in MacOS, Firefox or Chrome. If you close the browser, the files

  are reaped back in by the beam).

## FAQ

#### Aren't Static CMS's dead?

Of course not! A majority of web content is static! With Dragon you can

easily build and deploy a site to a statically served CDN, such as Amazon,

and host your site for pennies if not chump change (sidebar: article on

how to do this pending, but checkout ).

As Dragon evolves it'll become more integrated with Phoenix, so you can

leverage the power of both a static content generator and a dynamic appserver!
