epochblue / nanogen Goto Github PK

The documentation needs work to better describe the project and how to use it. It also lacks some documentation about some of the newer commands.

nanogen should come with a basic template that someone can use to make getting up and going simpler, with default versions of all the relevant files (post template, base layout, RSS feed, JSON feed, etc).

Creating a draft should probably be available through a command, instead of being something that requires the user to go in and rename a file to prepend the underscore.

The preview command currently only serves up the _site directory, which is created by the build command. This is OK, but it doesn't allow for previewing draft posts. The preview command should instead:

1. Collect and generate all available posts
2. Collect and generate all available drafts
3. Spit them into a separate _site_preview folder
4. Serve that _site_preview folder instead of the _site folder

Notes:

• Perhaps the default behavior of the preview command remains the same, and this new "with drafts" behavior is available via a CLI flag?

nanogen needs some manner of tests to ensure correctness, but right now it has zero. That's just not OK, y'all.

Command should...

1. Copy the draft post from _drafts into _posts, and
2. Change the date on the post to be the current date

The unit tests should be run automatically when PRs are opened.
