- you keep your markdown blogs named as "YYYY-MM-DD..md" in a data dir
- provide this data dir path to datum and get your static blogging content to be served
Meaning:
da·tum ˈdātəm,ˈdatəm/ noun 1. a piece of information. 2. a fixed starting point of a scale or operation
NOTE: datum doesn't bring in updates for boilerplate if changed post-creation, so required full cleanup and generation in such case
I've attached a very 0-level original example (to be improved later, PR welcomed). See the effect, change directory to datum's root... then
- to convert using Github API (requires Internet)
DATUM_BASEDIR="example/" ./dat-2-um.sh
- to convert using Pandoc utlity (need to be installed using cabal)
DATUM_CONVERTER="pandoc" DATUM_BASEDIR="example/" ./dat-2-um.sh
- if got some other boilerplate for blog
DATUM_BOILERPLATE=simpleblog DATUM_CONVERTER="pandoc" DATUM_BASEDIR="example/" ./dat-2-um.sh
To change links from top-nav-bar and side-nav-bar; or to change Title, Heading, Subheading of blog... configure the desired values in baseinfo.json available at base of created blog-dir.
