Vite demo

Installation

$ pip install vite

Usage

$ vite new <project-path>

Write your Markdown files in the pages directory and execute:

$ vite build   # in project directory

Rendered HTML will be in the build directory.

Finally, run:

$ vite serve  # also in the project directory

to serve the contents of the build directory.

Configuration

Not very sophisticated, but basic configuration can be acheived using config.py found in the project directory. Example config:

# config.py 
title = ''
author = ''
header = ''
footer = '' 
template = 'index.html'  # default is templates/index.html

Templating

Vite uses Jinja2 templating, so template files must be placed in a separate templates/ directory.
A basic example would be:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="../static/sakura-earthy.css">

<title> {{ title }} </title>

<body>
{{ body }}
</body>

<footer>
{{ footer }}
</footer>

Notes on templating

  • Stylesheets, images and JS can be accessed from the static folder.
  • index.html, i.e. your website's homepage, should be _index.md in the pages/ directory.

Directory tree

example
├── build
├── config.py
├── pages
│   └── test.md
├── static
└── templates
    └── index.html

TODO

  • Templating
  • CSS support
  • Implement a simple HTTP server (later)
  • Add example site
  • Basic config (config.py)
  • Parsing frontmatter (JSON, YAML, TOML) (not doing this)
  • Better support for home page (main index.html page)
