Stasis

======



Stasis is a dynamic framework for static sites.



[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/winton/stasis.png)](http://travis-ci.org/winton/stasis)



Install

-------



Install via [RubyGems](http://rubygems.org/pages/download):



    $ gem install stasis



Example

-------



At its most essential, Stasis takes a directory tree with [supported template files](#supported_markup_languages) and renders them.



Example directory structure:



    project/

        index.html.haml

        images/

            image.png



Run `stasis`:



    $ cd project

    $ stasis



Stasis creates a `public` directory:



    project/

        index.html.haml

        images/

            image.png

        public/

            index.html

            images/

                image.png



`index.html.haml` becomes `public/index.html`.



Unrecognized extensions are copied as-is (`image.png`).



Controllers

-----------



Controllers contain Ruby code that executes once before all templates render.



Example directory structure:



    project/

        controller.rb

        index.html.haml

        styles/

            controller.rb

            style.css.sass

        



You may have a controller at any directory level.



Before

------



Use `before` blocks within `controller.rb` to execute code before a template renders.



`controller.rb`:



    before 'index.html.haml' do

      @something = true

    end



`@something` is now available to the `index.html.haml` template.



The `before` method can take any number of paths and/or regular expressions:



    before 'index.html.haml', /.*html\.erb/ do

      @something = true

    end



Layouts

-------



`layout.html.haml`:



    %html

      %body= yield



In `controller.rb`, set the default layout:



    layout 'layout.html.haml'



Set the layout for a particular template:



    layout 'index.html.haml' => 'layout.html.haml'



Use a regular expression:



    layout /.*html.haml/ => 'layout.html.haml'



Set the layout from a `before` block:



    before 'index.html.haml' do

      layout 'layout.html.haml'

    end



Render

------



Within a template:



    %html

      %body= render '_partial.html.haml'



Within a `before` block:



    before 'index.html.haml' do

      @partial = render '_partial.html.haml'

    end



Text:



    render :text => 'Hello'



Local variables:



    render 'index.html.haml', :locals => { :x => true }



Include a block for the template to `yield` to:



    render 'index.html.haml' { 'Hello' }



Instead

-------



The `instead` method changes the output of the template being rendered:



    before 'index.html.haml' do

      instead render('subdirectory/index.html.haml')

    end



Helpers

-------



`controller.rb`:



    helpers do

      def say_hello

        'Hello'

      end

    end



The `say_hello` method is now available to all `before` blocks and templates.



Ignore

------



Use the `ignore` method in `controller.rb` to ignore certain paths.



Ignore filenames with an underscore at the beginning:



    ignore /\/_.*/



Priority

--------



Use the `priority` method in `controller.rb` to change the file process order.



Copy `.txt` files before rendering the `index.html.erb` template:



    priority /.*txt/ => 2, 'index.html.erb' => 1



The default priority is `0` for all files.



Usage

-----



### Command Line



Always execute the `stasis` command in the root directory of your project.



Development mode (auto-regenerate on save):



    $ stasis -d



Specify a port to start an HTTP server:



    $ stasis -d 3000



Only render specific files or directories:



    $ stasis -o index.html.haml,subdirectory



Change the public (destination) directory:



    $ stasis -p ../public

   

### Ruby Library



Instantiate a `Stasis` object:



    stasis = Stasis.new('/path/to/project/root')



Optionally specify a destination directory:



    stasis = Stasis.new('/project', '/html')



Render all templates:



    stasis.render



Render a specific template or directory:



    stasis.render('index.html.haml', 'subdirectory')

### Supported Markup Languages



Stasis uses [Tilt](https://github.com/rtomayko/tilt) to support the following template engines:
