  raise Error, "#{page} already exists" if test ?e, page

  Logging::Logger[self].info "creating #{page}"
  FileUtils.mkdir_p ::File.dirname(page)
  str = ERB.new(::File.read(tmpl), nil, '-').result
  ::File.open(page, 'w') {|fd| fd.write str}

  return nil
end

.run(opts = {}) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

Builder.run( :rebuild => false )

Create a new instance of the Builder class and invoke the run method. If the :rebuild option is given as true, then all pages will be recreated / copied.

Instance Method Details

#run(opts = {}) ⇒ Object

call-seq:

run( :rebuild => false, :load_files => true )

Runs the Webby builder by loading in the layout files from the layouts/ folder and the content from the contents/ folder. Content is analyzed, and those that need to be copied or compiled (filtered using ERB, Texttile, Markdown, etc.) are handled. The results are placed in the output/ folder.

If the :rebuild flag is set to true, then all content is copied and/or compiled to the output folder.

A content file can mark itself as dirty by setting the dirty flag to true in the meta-data of the file. This will cause the contenet to always be compiled when the builder is run. Conversely, setting the dirty flag to false will cause the content to never be compiled or copied to the output folder.

A content file needs to be built if the age of the file is less then the age of the output product – i.e. the content file has been modified more recently than the output file.
