# Hello world!

ciacme/
├── pages/
│   └── 20241028202552_hello-world.md
├── vendor/
└── composer.json

After adding some text to the newly created page, use the build command to compile the .md files to .html:

$ vendor/bin/staticka build
[PASS] Pages successfully compiled!

ciacme/
├── build/
│   └── hello-world/
│       └── index.html
├── pages/
│   └── 20241028202552_hello-world.md
├── vendor/
└── composer.json

<!-- build/hello-world/index.html -->
<h1>Hello world!</h1>

[!NOTE] Console will try to create the required directories (e.g., build, pages) if they do not exists in the current working directory.

Using staticka.yml

Console typically works out of the box without any configuration. But if there is a need to change the path of its other supported directories or needs to extend the core functionalities of Console, the staticka.yml file can be used in those kind of scenarios:

# staticka.yml

root_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%
timezone: Asia/Manila

assets_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/assets
build_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/build
config_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/config
pages_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/pages
plates_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/plates
scripts_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/scripts
styles_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/styles

To create the said staticka.yml file, simply run the initialize command:

$ vendor/bin/staticka initialize
[PASS] "staticka.yml" added successfully!

After successfully creating the said file, it will provide the following properties below:

root_path

This property specifies the current working directory. By default, it uses the %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%% placeholder that returns the current directory of the staticka.yml file:

# staticka.yml

root_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/Sample

# ...

timezone

This allows to change the timezone to be used when creating timestamps of a new page. If not specified, Console will use the default timezone specified in the php.ini file:

# staticka.yml

timezone: Asia/Tokyo

# ...

assets_path

This specifies the path for all other web assets like images (.jpg, .png) and PDF files (.pdf). Console does not use this specified path but it might be useful to locate the directory for organizing asset files:

# staticka.yml

assets_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/assets

# ...

build_path

This is the property that will be used by Console to determine the destination directory of the compiled pages:

# staticka.yml

build_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/build

# ...

config_path

One of the properties of Console that locates the directory for storing configuration files. If defined, it will load its .php files to a Configuration class. The said class is useful when creating extensions to Console:

# staticka.yml

config_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/config

# ...

// config/parser.php

return array(
    /**
     * @var \Staticka\Filter\FilterInterface[]
     */
    'filters' => array(
        'Staticka\Expresso\Filters\GithubFilter',
        'Staticka\Expresso\Filters\ReadmeFilter',
    ),
);

// src/Package.php

namespace Ciacme;

use Rougin\Slytherin\Container\ContainerInterface;
use Rougin\Slytherin\Container\ReflectionContainer;
use Rougin\Slytherin\Integration\Configuration;
use Rougin\Slytherin\Integration\IntegrationInterface;

class Package implements IntegrationInterface
{
    public function define(ContainerInterface $container, Configuration $config)
    {
        // Will try to access the "config/parser.php" file ---
        /** @var class-string[] */
        $filters = $config->get('parser.filters', array());
        // ---------------------------------------------------

        // ...
    }
}

[!NOTE] To allow custom packages for Console, kindly add the specified package class in staticka.yml. Please see the Extending Console section below for more information.

pages_path

This is the location of the generated pages from create command:

# staticka.yml

pages_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/pages

# ...

plates_path

One of the special variables of Console to specify a directory that can be used for third-party templating engines (RenderInterface):

# staticka.yml

plates_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/plates

# ...

scripts_path

This is the property for the directory path of script files (.js, .ts). Although not being used internally by Console, this property can be used when extending core functionalities (e.g., compiling .js files through Webpack when running the build command):

# staticka.yml

scripts_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/scripts

# ...

styles_path

Same as scripts_path, this property specifies the directory path for styling files (.css, .sass):

# staticka.yml

styles_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%/styles

# ...

Extending Console

Console is based on the Slytherin PHP micro-framework which provides an easy way to integrate custom packages through IntegrationInterface. The said interface can be used to create instances related to Staticka:

// src/Package.php

namespace Ciacme;

use Rougin\Slytherin\Container\ContainerInterface;
use Rougin\Slytherin\Container\ReflectionContainer;
use Rougin\Slytherin\Integration\Configuration;
use Rougin\Slytherin\Integration\IntegrationInterface;
use Staticka\Filter\HtmlMinifier;
use Staticka\Layout;

class Package implements IntegrationInterface
{
    /**
     * This sample package will always minify the compiled HTML files.
     *
     * @param \Rougin\Slytherin\Container\ContainerInterface $container
     * @param \Rougin\Slytherin\Integration\Configuration    $config
     *
     * @return \Rougin\Slytherin\Container\ContainerInterface
     */
    public function define(ContainerInterface $container, Configuration $config)
    {
        $layout = new Layout;

        $layout->addFilter(new HtmlMinifier);

        $container->set(get_class($layout), $layout);

        return $container;
    }
}

To add the specified custom package, kindly add it to the staticka.yml file:

# staticka.yml

root_path: %%CURRENT_DIRECTORY%%

# ...
