Effortless Static Site Generation with Flexibility

Feeling overwhelmed by the static site generator landscape? Refo offers a refreshingly simple and customizable approach built entirely on Node.js.

Unlike Jekyll, Gatsby, Astro and others, we let you leverage the power of Node.js modules directly. This means you can generate any kind of website you can imagine, all with the flexibility of your favorite Node.js libraries and servers.

Key benefits:

  • Effortless Development: Edit your modules and see instant updates thanks to hot reloading.
  • Unmatched Flexibility: Import SVGs, utilize raw imports, and style your components with ease.
  • Data-Driven Content: Craft resumes, portfolios, or any data-driven website with ease.
  • Highly Customizable: No rigid folder structures, minify class names, or even swap out SolidJS for React – it's entirely up to you.

Go beyond the limitations of traditional static site generators. Embrace the power and flexibility of Refo for your next project!

Features

Highlights

  • Edit your resume data in a JSON file.
  • View and publish your resume as a PDF, an HTML document and or as a page on a website.
    • Design and customize resume layout with HTML and CSS.
  • Generate 1 or more PDFs supporting different formats like Letter and A4.
    • Refresh the PDF after saving changes to see the up to date PDF.

Getting Started

  • Initial steps
    • Install Node.js, pnpm and Google Chrome.
    • Download or clone this repository.
    • Open a command prompt in this folder.

Install dependencies:

pnpm install

Are you on some kind of Unix based system? Mac? Linux? If so you might want to change the port in the index module, which is set to 80 which works on Windows. Superstatic's default is 3474 so you can remove it if you prefer.

Start the server in development mode:

pnpm dev

Visit http://localhost/ to access the website.

Static site generation

Generate a static site:

pnpm static

Open the index.html within the static folder to access the website.

Main concept

import
generated file
index/
static/
   • favicon.ico (icon file (Node.js module))
   • favicon.ico
   • main.js​.js (Node.js module) →    • main.js
   • index.html​.jsx (Node.js module)
   • index.html
firebase.json​.js (Node.js module)
firebase.json

The imported files (which have a certain file extension (ico, png)) (Node.js) modules) copy the files themselves into the static folder when the modules are loaded. In module relading mode they remove them if they are not imported anymore.

The default export of (Node.js) modules (which have a certain file extension (js, json, html) in their base file name) are written as the contents of the output files (into the static folder). The full file names of the output files are the base file names of the (Node.js) modules.

Simple page example source code

index.html​.jsx (imported module):

import template from '#@SolidJS/template'

import use from '#@style'

const [{styled}, extract] = use()

const Body = styled.body`
	font-weight: bold;
`

export default <>
	{template(`<!DOCTYPE HTML>`)}
	<html lang="en">
		{template(`<head>`)}
			<style>{extract()}</style>
		{template(`</head>`)}
		<Body>
			example content
		</Body>
	</html>
</>

index.html (generated file):

<!DOCTYPE HTML><html lang=en><head><style>.a{font-weight:700}</style></head><body class=a>example content</body></html>

Deployment

GitHub Pages

You can deploy the static docs folder as it is.

You might want to change the prefixum in the following files according to the name of your project site repository: index/index/site/ main/

You can completely remove the prefixum in case you are publishing a user or an organization site.

 

About

This example uses Refo's JSON handler. So you can control how and whether certain properties are displayed from the index/index/site/index/resume/data.js file as described in Refo's readme at the JSON handler Usage section.

Server

This project uses superstatic to serve the generated static files. You can use any similar library to serve the files or no library at all in case you would like to browse the files directly. This can be useful for offline documentations for example.

You can remove superstatic and use firebase-tools instead (which uses superstatic) if you prefer. In this case, you can modify the scripts in the package.json file and replace superstatic with firebase serve commands.

This project uses concurrently to run Refo in watch mode and serve the files with superstatic. You can use any similar library like npm-run-all to run Refo and a server in parallel or no library at all if you don't need a file server.

The firebase.json file could be named as superstatic.json if you prefer. This template does not depend on Firebase itself. However, they provide one of if not the consistently fastest static hosting solution.

Syntax highlighting

Some code editors like Atom and GitHub, for example, highlights html tagged template literals as HTML as you can see this above as well.

Sublime Text

Now you can use the JS Custom - Default syntax highlight option for JavaScript files.

Usage

JSON handler

The JSON handler is a standalone package. It is mainly useful to handle resume related data, but you can use it for anything else too.

You can use it as you can see in the example (asset/resume/getHandledJson.js) as well:

const handleJSON = require('refo-handle-json')

var json = JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(require('./data')))

json = handleJSON(json)

It is recommended to create a copy of the required JSON using the JSON.parse(JSON.stringify(json)) functions for example when you are using Refo in watch mode (related comment), because the JSON hander is changing object properties.

The JSON handler is parsing string object values as Markdown using markdown-it. Example: example/asset/resume/data.json#L7

Properties which are ending with -private are removed. Example: example/asset/resume/data.json#L4
Objects which have a property named private are removed too.

Properties which are ending with -full are only included when a second true value parameter is passed to the handler function. Example: example/asset/resume/data.json#L8, example/asset/resume/getHandledJson.js#L9
Objects which have a property named full are only included when a second true value parameter is passed to the handler function.

Period

When an object contains a startDate property without an endDate property then a hidePresent property can be used to hide a present label and show the current year instead.
A hideEndDate property can be used to hide the current year shown instead of a present label.

A hideDuration property can be used to hide the calculated duration. Otherwise, a duration property is defined with the calculated duration (examples: 7 months, 1 year, 1.5 years, 2 years).

Contribution

It can be useful to create in-depth documentation about each Refo package.

Open a new issue if you think so and let's discuss this. We can definitely implement this if it turns out to be useful.
