  "permalink": false,
  "port": 4000,
  "global": {}
}

Built-in Function

Handlebars template

Situs is using Handlebars to render data and also include some additional helpers function like,

{{#escape}} : Used for escaping html string, especially in html file. Example:

{{#escape}}
<html>
</html>
{{#escape}}

# Will be rendered to
&lt;html&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;

{{#code}} : Used for escaping code and also wrapping it inside <pre> and <code>. Example:

{{#code}}
<html>
</html>
{{#code}}

# Will be rendered to
<pre><code>&lt;html&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>

# You can also add class in your <code> tag (usually for syntax highlighter)
{{#code class="lang-html"}}
<html>
</html>
{{#code}}

# Will be rendered to
<pre><code class="lang-html">&lt;html&gt;
&lt;/html&gt;
</code></pre>

For other Handlebars helper, please visit http://handlebarsjs.com/.

@situs-include(filePath)

You can include other file inside a file, by passing relative path of the file to @situs-include(). This function is usefull when you needed to put same content in several source files. Situs will raise an error, if included file is not found.

Example:

index.html

<html>
  @situs-include(./header.html)
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

header.html

<head>
  <title>Sample situs page</title>
</head>

Output:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Sample situs page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

@situs-data(jsonString)

@situs-data() allows you to add local data directly on your file, same as Front Matter does in Jekyll. To use it, you have to insert JSON string as parameter.

Example:

index.html

@situs-data({
  "title": "Sample situs page"
})
<html>
  <head>
    <title>{{ title }}</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Output:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Sample situs page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

If you included a file, @situs-data() also render the local data to include file.

Example:

index.html

@situs-data({
  "title": "Sample situs page"
})
<html>
  @situs-include(./header.html)
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

header.html

<head>
  <title>{{ title }}</title>
</head>

Output:

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Sample situs page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

@situs-ignore()

Situs also provide @situs-ignore() if you want to ignore a file manually, without specifying the file in situs.json. Just place @situs-ignore() anywhere inside your file.

Example:

Directory structure (before build)

- \main-directory
    - \destination
      - (empty)
    - \source
      - index.html
      - page.html

page.html

@situs-ignore()

<html>
  <head>
    <title>Sample page</title>
  </head>
  <body>
  </body>
</html>

Build your source

~\main-directory $ situs build

Directory structure (after build)

- \main-directory
    - \destination
      - index.html
    - \source
      - index.html
      - page.html
