node-blog-starter
A barebones, no-bloat starter blog in Node, using Markdown to format posts, and Handlebars to server-side render. Posts are created and accessed through the /posts folder in Markdown format.
The blog has 2 simple endpoints with accompanying views:
-
/- Home view, for displaying your blog posts to viewers.
-
/post/<POST>- Post view, for displaying a Markdown post to viewers.
Setup
yarn install
Usage
Development
Run the blog using Nodemon and livereload.js for development.
yarn dev
Build
Build the blog into a static directory using wget magic.
yarn build
Github Actions
On push to master Github Actions will trigger a deploy to your gh-pages for this repository. This means that the blog may be managed entirely through Github's Markdown editor if desired, simply adding new blog posts in the posts/ directory, which triggers the Github Action CI flow to build static content and deploy to gh-pages.
