to run it as a one time thing.

Options
Options are placed in a .fiddly.config.json
or as a fiddly
key in package.json
.
It can contain the following options:
Option | Default | Description |
---|---|---|
file | Readme.md, readme.md, or README.md | Your Readme.md name |
name | name in package.json | The project name that is in the title and the header |
logo | '' | The project logo that is in the header |
description | description in package.json | The project description for meta tags |
homepage | null | The project homepage for meta tags |
noHeader | false | Show no header and just the markdown content |
darkTheme | false | Dark theme ofc |
favicon | '' | Favicon url or local path |
dist | public | To what folder to render your HTML |
styles | {} | Styles to apply to the page. Object or path to css/scss file |
additionalFiles | [] | Any other pages to create. It expects an array of paths of markdown files |
repo | null | Link to point the github corner |
pathPrefix | Environment var PATH_PREFIX or '/' | Host your fiddly files at e.g. /my-fiddly-project |
deployment | {} | Deployment options for github pages. Accepts all options here |
Example of styles
For styles you can either use a style object like so and that will override the default styles applied. Like so:
{
"styles": {
"h1": {
"color": "blue",
"backgroundColor": "red"
}
}
}
Another option is to give the path to a local css or scss file.
In this case you need to override any specificity issues.
You can by using the #fiddly
id.
Example:
body {
background: #fff;
}
#fiddly {
h1 {
text-transform: uppercase;
}
}
Images
Any images linked in your markdown that are local will be minified and copied to your dist folder. If some image is not found it will be ignored.
GitHub Corner
The GitHub corner comes from either the repo
option in your .fiddly.config.json
or from the repository url in your package.json
.
If none is present it will not be shown.
Lint
Fiddly also exports a command to let you lint all the markdown files you specified.
You can run this by using the lint
command
"lint:md" : "fiddly lint"
Deploy
Fiddly also exports a command to let you deploy your new site to GitHub pages
You can run this by using the deploy
command
"deploy" : "fiddly deploy"
Options for this can be passed in a deployment
key in your config file.
All options can be found here: https://github.com/tschaub/gh-pages#options
