A custom blog engine, made for my use case, which is neither unique nor particularly challenging. It's just more fun to make my own blog engine.
This repo consists of these sections:
- data.json is the configuration file where I keep the global data.
- templating_engine.py is the templating engine. It has a very small DSL that's capable of doing all the necessary things for my use case (variables, conditionals, loops).
- templates is the folder where templates/fragments are kept; these templates are loaded by the engine to generate different parts of a page.
- css folder contains the Sass file.
- posts folder contains all the posts written in Markdown format.
- assets contains the static assets
The code has been tested with Python 3.11. To install dependencies (create a venv if you want):
pip install -r requirements.txtTo generate the files:
python main.pyTo quickly serve the blog:
# go to the ./build folder and run
python -m http.serverThe blog should be accessible at http://localhost:8000
