README

A simple static site builder in pure PHP7

• Light weight, few dependencies
• Fast, simple, extendable
• Uses Blade templates
• Asset pipeline

Easy to use simple command line interface designed to be installed using composer:

$ composer require tedmoyses/glomr

usage:

$ ./vendor/bin/glomr init
$ ./vendor/bin/glomr watch

Commands

Init command will generate a config file and offer a choice of templated sites, then run a build. Source files will be available to edit ./src and all ouput lives in ./build Most paths are configurable. Be warned, this command is destructive, it will wipe out all existing files in ./src and ./build

Watch will start the built in PHP server with configurable options, you built site will be served and file changes will cause a new build on each save.

Build triggers a one off build of the source files

Options

Commands support the following options:

• -h --help see help text on each command and options
• -d --debug see debug messages
• -e --env allows you to switch from development (default) to production environments. Production will produce single files for CSS and JS with cache busted file names per build
• -c --compression none (default) only applies in producion env, leaves all CSS and JS as is, low will strip comments, high will strip comments, whitespace and perform other minification tasks

Disclaimer

This was built as a personal project, feedback is welcome but use at your own risk

Todo

Possibly build support for markdown with frontmatter Build and publish docker image that can be used if you have docker but don't want to install a PHP runtime Might build on the md/frontmatter to implement some kind of paginated template content like a blog
