This is a grunt multi-task for generating static blogs with markdown. It was designed to be used with Lineman, but should be generally useful to someone trying to accomplish the same.
Here's an example repo that'll be using it. testdouble/lineman-blog
Here's an example configuration (in CoffeeScript, just imagine more { & } if you prefer JavaScript):
markdown:
options:
author: "Full Name"
title: "my blog"
description: "my blog where I write things"
url: "http://myblog.com"
disqus: "my_disqus_id" #<-- just remove or comment this line to disable disqus support
rssCount: 10 #<-- remove, comment, or set to zero to disable RSS generation
layouts:
wrapper: "app/templates/wrapper.us"
index: "app/templates/index.us"
post: "app/templates/post.us"
archive: "app/templates/archive.us"
paths:
markdown: "app/posts/*.md"
posts: "posts"
index: "index.html"
archive: "archive.html"
rss: "index.xml"
dev:
dest: "generated"
context:
js: "../js/app.js"
css: "../css/app.css"
dist:
dest: "dist"
context:
js: "../js/app.min.js"
css: "../css/app.min.css"
If you use a watch plugin with grunt, you can also do something like this for development:
watch:
markdown:
files: ["app/posts/*.md", "app/templates/*.us"]
tasks: ["markdown:dev"]
