Antwerp

Overview:

Antwerp was a closed-source build program for logicalbranch.github.io. It was ported from Node.js & Pug to Rust & Tera and is now an open-source framework for building static blogs. It's available on crates.io as Antwerp.

Antwerp takes specified resources and copies assets & directories, compiles SCSS stylesheets, and renders Tera templates to generate a static website in a user-defined folder, it also supports multiple builds using seperate instances.

Demonstration:

The following antwerp.toml config file (v0.2.2) was used to generate malekaia.github.io:

url_root = 'https://malekaia.github.io'
url_post = '%url_root/articles/%category/%slug.html'
path_tera = './public/**/*.tera'
path_render = 'articles/%category/%slug.html'
dir_resources = './public/'
dir_output = './dist/malekaia.github.io/'
dir_posts = './public/articles/*/*.tera'
verbose = true
clean = true
preserve = false

[posts]
image = '/images/manuel-cosentino:n--CMLApjfI-unsplash.jpg'
author = 'Malekai'
author_github = 'https://github.com/Malekaia'

Using the following build method (available at example/main.rs):

use antwerp::{Antwerp, Post};
use tera::Context;

pub fn build() {
  // Create a new build instance
  let mut build: Antwerp = Antwerp::new();

  // Copy directories
  build.folder("images/**/*", r"\.(png|jpg)$", false);
  build.folder("scripts/vendor/*.js", r"\.js$", false);
  build.folder("scripts/*.js", r"\.js$", true);
  build.folder("styles/vendor/**/*", r"\.(css|woff|woff2)$", false);

  // Compile SCSS assets
  build.scss("styles/app.scss", "styles/app.css");
  build.scss("styles/http.scss", "styles/http.css");

  // Generate the post list
  build.post_list(| unsorted: Vec<Post> | -> Vec<Post> {
    // sort into vec[vec[tutorial], vec[project], vec[opinion], vec[misc], vec[guide]]
    let mut sorted: Vec<Vec<Post>> = vec![vec![], vec![], vec![], vec![], vec![]];
    for post in unsorted {
      match &*post.genre {
        "Tutorial" => sorted[0].push(post),
        "Project" => sorted[1].push(post),
        "Opinion" => sorted[2].push(post),
        "Misc" => sorted[3].push(post),
        "Guide" => sorted[4].push(post),
        unknown_genre @ _ => panic!("Ignore (unknown genre): {} in {}", unknown_genre, post.template_path)
      }
    }
    // vec[...tutorial, ...project, ...opinion, ...misc, ...guide]
    for genre in &mut sorted {
      genre.sort_by_key(| post | post.template_raw.len());
      genre.reverse();
    }
    sorted.into_iter().flatten().collect::<Vec<Post>>()
  });
