Overview

Task library to manage a webgen website.

It is assumed that you have already used the ‘webgen’ command to create the website directory for the site.

Basics

require 'webgen/webgentask'

Webgen::WebgenTask.new

Attributes

The attributes available in the new block are:

  • directory - the root directory of the webgen site

    (default Dir.pwd)

  • config - the config block for setting additional configuration options

  • clobber_outdir - remove webgens output directory on clobber

    (default false)

Tasks Provided

The tasks provided are :

  • webgen - render the webgen website

  • clobber_webgen - remove all the files created during generation

Integrate webgen in other project

To integrate webgen tasks in another project you can use rake namespaces. For example assuming webgen’s site directory is webgen under the main project directory use the following code fragment in project Rakefile:

require 'webgen/webgentask'

namespace :dev do
  Webgen::WebgenTask.new do |site|
    site.directory = File.join(Dir.pwd, "webgen")
    site.clobber_outdir = true
    site.config_block = lambda |config|
      config['website.lang'] = 'de'
    end
  end
end

task :clobber => ['dev:clobber_webgen']

This will create the following tasks:

  • dev:webgen

  • dev:clobber_webgen

and add dev:clobber_webgen to the main clobber task.
