Static site generator based on Wordpress REST API

Static Site Generator

Description

Based on Wordpress REST API. Build with Node, Metalsmith, Handlebars and Gulp.

A setup to create a simple and very fast blog / static site based on a Wordpress blog. Some background information at the blog.

Getting startet

• Clone the code git clone https://github.com/sjsd/static-site-generator-from-wordpress-rest-api.git
• Add URLs to the ./gulp-task/localjson.js. First line.
• Install dependencies: npm install
• Build local JSON for post gulp json-posts
• Build local JSON for pages gulp json-pages
• Run a clean build gulp build
• We're done! Your site is now in the ./build folder.

Some options

Where do I set URL to my Wordpress? Open ./gulp-task/localjson.js and change the variable for wordpressURL. Like this: const wordpressURL = 'your-wordpress-blog.wordpress.com'.

Note: it can be self hosted installation. Then you set something like this www.your-domain-name.com

Are you kidding me? The posts order the wrong way! Yeah, well .. you can change that. Open ./gulp-task/metalsmith.js and find the options for collections. Change the value to true. Like this: reverse: true.

I want my own design Go ahead! Knock your self out! The script use Metalsmith and Handlebars. Or you can change the script to use what ever you prefer.
