Store data in any format

Store your data using static formats like JSON or YAML. Use JavaScript or TypeScript to get the data from a Database or API.

title: Galician municipalities
items:
  - O Pino
  - Tordoia
  - Ordes
  - Cedeira

{
  "title": "Galician municipalities",
  "items": [
    "O Pino",
    "Tordoia",
    "Ordes",
    "Cedeira"
  ]
}

export const title = "Galician municipalities";
export const items = [
  "O Pino",
  "Tordoia",
  "Ordes",
  "Cedeira"
];

const title = "Galician municipalities";

const response = await fetch("https://example.com/galician-minicipalities.json");
const items = (await response.json()) as string[];
export { title, items };

Process HTML pages and assets

Processors can compile and optimize assets like CSS or JavaScript. They can also transform the HTML code using the DOM API.

site.process([".css"], (files) => {
  for (const file of files) {
    file.content = customTransform(file.content);
  }
})

site.process([".html"], (pages) => {
  for (const page of pages) {
    const externalLinks = page.document.querySelectorAll('a[href^="http"]');

    externalLinks.forEach((link) => {
      link.setAttribute("target", "_blank");
    });
  }
})

Run your scripts and listen for events

You can create custom scripts like in NPM and execute them from the CLI or after any event.

// Create a script and run it after build
site.script("deploy", "rsync -r _site/ user@host.com:/site");
site.addEventListener("afterBuild", "deploy");

// Or run arbitrary code
site.addEventListener("afterBuild", () => console.log("site build"));

And everything with a clean and intuitive API

Configure your site build in a single _config.ts or _config.js file with plugins and a simple and clean API.

import lume from "lume/mod.ts";

const site = lume();

export default site;

import lume from "lume/mod.ts";
import lightningcss from "lume/plugins/lightningcss.ts";
import esbuild from "lume/plugins/esbuild.ts";
import svgo from "lume/plugins/svgo.ts";
import jsx from "lume/plugins/jsx.ts";
import date from "lume/plugins/date.ts";

const site = lume();

site.use(lightningcss())
    .use(esbuild())
    .use(svgo())
    .use(jsx())
    .use(date());

export default site;
