agandhi29_static_site_geneator v1.0.0

Static site Generator (ag-ssg)

DSP909 - Static site generator which converts the.txt file to static .html page. In this version of project we need to create the command line tool which will help to process the .txt file to .html files

Outline

In this release version user can do the following

1. User can use the command line tool to specify the particular .txt file to convert it into .html file type.
2. User can specify the folder which contains multiple .txt files to convert all of them into a separate .html file type.

• Build and run the project

node app.js - command line arguments
For example
node app.js - i "test.txt" .
if the file is in particular folder we have to provide the path like this  node app.js -i "./textfile/Silver Blaze.txt"
if you want to convert the whole folder text file to  html use this command node app.js -i textfile

Command line options

Command line option available for User in this tool

##.txt file for testing Folder in directory named textFile contains all the text file which i have used to test my code. One extra file is available in the main directory named "test.txt". Another extra file is called "config.json" and can be used to test --config command

Running the Tool with different commands

Optional Feature

In addition to the above feature i have implemented these feature in my site.

• Improve the look and feel of your generated HTML pages using a default stylesheet that you design.

• if the user specifies a folder for the input, automatically generate an index.html file, which has relative links to each of the generated HTML files.

Markdown Support

• Initial support for the parsing of .md files has been added and the tool will now appropriately handle the # header1 and ## header2 syntax features when a .md file is used for data input.
• Add support for a horizontal rule in Markdown. The Markdown --- should get converted to an <hr> tag.

Language Support

• Add an option -l,-- lang flag, which indicates the language to use when generating the lang attribute on the root html element.
• For example --lang fr means the new generated documents will be in French.
• To use this feature in this app you can use this command node app.js -l fr -i "./textfile". With this you can create the new html file in French

Configuration Support

• Use option -c, --config <config-file> flat, which indicates that the config functionality will be user.
• Config Supports following fields:
  • output - the output folder (./dist by default)
  • input - the input folder/file (./test.md by default)
  • lang - the specified language (en-CA by default)
• To use this feature in the app you can use this command node app.js --config config.json
