Statica is a module for Piranha CMS that turns
a recursive structure of Markdown files into a page structure that can be accessed from your
Piranha website. The module can for example be used to display documentation on your website that
you want to author and edit somewhere else than through your website.
For example the module will be used on the official Piranha website to render the documentation section.
Adding statica to your application is easy. The only important this is that UseStatica should be placed after UseStaticFiles but before any dynamic handlers like Mvc is added to the middleware pipeline.
using Statica.Models;
public void ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)
{
...
//
// Adds a new statica structure with the base slug
// docs and assets enabled
//
services.AddStatica(new Statica.Models.StaticStructure
{
Id = "docs",
DataPath = "docs/src",
BaseSlug = "docs",
UseAssets = true
});
...
}
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
...
app.UseStaticFiles();
app.UseStatica(env);
...
}
If UseAssets is set to true, Statica will assume that you have the folder _assets in your DataPath. Your assets will be exposed in your application on BaseSlug/_assets.
