tinySite

tinySite is a lightweight static site generator.

tinySite loads a standard file structure that looks like the following:

/documents/ - files processed before being written to output
/files/ - files copied as is to output
/layouts/ - files referenced by documents to format
/site.json - json configuration file

By default, tinySite writes the processed output to the /build/ folder.

These folders are configurable in the site.json as such:

{
  "documents" : "documents/",
  "files" : "files/",
  "layouts" : "layouts/",
  "output" : "build/",
}

Query language

A metadata's value may be a query using the following syntax:

metaname?: query documents where relativepath startswith "documents\posts\" descending date

The pagination metadata is a special query that does not need the ? token to indicate it is a query:

paginate: [documents] [every 4] [where relativepath startswith "documents\posts\"] [descending date] [formaturl "posts/page/{0}"]
                       take                         endswith                        ascending
                                                    equals
                                                    greaterthan
                                                    lessthan
                                                    contains
