U-C-S / u-c-s.github.io

Built with Zola, Solid.js and esbuild

Personal Website of Chanakya

Built with:

• Zola - A Static Site Generator, written in Rust
• TypeScript - Strongly typed language that builds on JavaScript
• Solid.js - A declarative and efficient JavaScript library for building UIs
• esbuild - An extremely fast JavaScript bundler
• SCSS - CSS Preprocessor

Local Environment Setup:

• You need to install - nodejs >v16 , git and vscode
• Clone this Repository into your PC and In the cloned directory, use the following commands

npm install       # To install all the project dependencies
npm run develop   # To start a local Dev Server which opens the site directly in the browser

Note: This project uses zola-bin, not the official zola binaries. This makes it easier to develop and deploy.

Directory Structure

Similar to every site created using Zola, but adds 2 extra directories - src,bin while not using sass directory

Directory	What it contains
bin	DevOps - build scripts including code bundling, running zola and building static site
content	Content - Markdown files used by the tera templates
src *	Json, Sass and TypeScript files that will be sent to static folder during build process
static	Files in this are directly copied to output folder during the build/develop process
templates	Contains the Tera (Zola templating language) template files

* = The Json files will be used by Templates while sass and ts files will be compiled to css and js and used as static files for the website
