Under the hood, Subatomic's core idea is "it's all just moving files around" when it comes to building static sites.
-
Structure of your content is up to you - use Scala's data structures, pattern matching, all the usual stuff
sealed trait Content case class StaticPage(title: String, path: os.Path) extends Content case class MdocPage(path: os.Path, dependencies: Set[String]) extends Content -
No magic. You need to explicitly tell Subatomic where to put which content.
The content model is very simple - Subatomic can copy files and it can write text to files. That's it.
Here's a super-short example:
import subatomic._
type Content = Either[String, Int]
def sitemap: Vector[(SitePath, Content)] = Vector(
SiteRoot / "index.html" -> Left("Hello world!"),
SiteRoot / "the" / "answer.html" -> Right(25)
)
val site = Site
.init(sitemap)
.populate { case (site, content) =>
content match {
case (path, Left(string)) =>
site.addPage(path, s"<html><body>String: $string</body></html>")
case (path, Right(int)) =>
site.addPage(path, s"<html><body>Integer: $int</body></html>")
}
}
And if we want to actually produce files, we can call buildAt:
site.buildAt(os.temp.dir()) // build in a temp folder
Creating site in /tmp/3248165470651744608
index.html
^--content--> <html><body>String: Hello world!</body></html>
the/answer.html
^--content--> <html><body>Integer: 25</body></html>
