# gloss

Gloss is a simple blog generator for Gleam, using [Lustre](https://hexdocs.pm/lustre) and
[lustre_ssg](https://hexdocs.pm/lustre_ssg).

Gloss runs on the JavaScript target and it's tested with Node.js.

## Quickstart

Gloss is not yet available on Hex. You can use it with a path dependency instead. Create a new
Gleam project, clone Gloss to some path, and add the following to `gleam.toml`:

```toml
[dependencies]
gleam_stdlib = "~> 0.36 or ~> 1.0"
gloss = { path = "../path/to/gloss" }
```

To generate a default blog, use the following in your main file:

```gleam
import gleam/result
import gleam/option
import gleam/io
import gloss/builder
import gloss/config.{type Configuration, Configuration}
import gloss/defaults

pub fn main() {
  let config =
    defaults.default_config(
      "My Blog",
      "https://my.blog.example/",
      "en",
      config.Author(
        "Person McPerson",
        option.Some("person@example.com"),
        option.Some("https://fedi.instance.example/@person"),
      ),
      "© Person McPerson",
    )

  io.debug(build(config))
}

pub fn build(config: Configuration) {
  // Parse the files
  use db <- result.try(builder.parse(config))
  // Compile Markdown into HTML
  let compiled = builder.compile(db, config)
  // Render content into Lustre elements
  let rendered = builder.render(db, compiled, config)
  // Write rendered content into the filesystem
  builder.write(rendered, config)
}
```
