Alister

A super minimal ruby solution to static site generation. This gem allows you to create a static site whilst writing almost purely ruby!

Install all the dependencies first:

For Ubuntu, Debian:

sudo apt-get install libjpeg-dev libpng-dev libtiff-dev libwebp-dev

For Fedora, CentOS:

sudo dnf install libjpeg-devel libpng-devel libtiff-devel libwebp-devel

For Mac OS:

brew install libjpg libpng libtiff webp

Install the gem and add to the application's Gemfile by executing:

bundle add alister

If bundler is not being used to manage dependencies, install the gem by executing:

gem install alister

require 'alister'

root_page = Alister.html do
  doctype
  html lang: "en" do
    head do
      meta charset: "utf-8"
      meta name: "viewport", content: "width=device-width, initial-scale=1"
    end
    body do
      div id: "app" do
        para "hello world"
      end
    end
end
s = Alister::Site.new
s.route "/", root_page
s.build "./build"

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
