Usage
Template
Prepare
bob template prepare --input ./templates/ --output ./output/ --data-file ./data.yamlThis will create files in the ./output/ directory with all parsed templates from ./templates/ directory.
Also, a data YAML. This data YAML is used to generate the final files with the bob html generate command.
This command prepares the title, description, keywords, and other metadata for the templates. Furthermore, it will parse the templates for images, anchors, and text.
If the argument --data-file is not set, the data YAML will be written to ./output/data.yaml.
| Original | Parsed |
|---|---|
<html lang="en"><head> |
<html lang="en" data-attributes="lang path:lang"><head> |
<title>Bob</title> |
<title data-attributes="title path:title">Bob</title> |
<meta name="description" content="Bob is a html and html fragment builder"> |
<meta name="description" content="Bob is a html and html fragment builder" data-attributes="description path:meta.description"> |
<img alt="alt text" title="my title" src="..." |
<img alt="alt text" title="my title" src="..." data-attributes="alt path:img.id1003.alt title path:img.id1003.title src path:img.id1003.src"> |
<a href="https://gitlab.schukai.com/oss/bob"> |
<a href="https://gitlab.schukai.com/oss/bob" data-attributes="href path:a.id1004.href"> |
<p>Bob is a html and html fragment builder</p> |
<p><span data-attributes="text path:p.id1005.text">Bob is a html and html fragment builder</span></p> |
If you want to translate the text, you can copy the default data.yaml to a new file and translate the text there.
A good practice is to use the language code as the file name.
For example, de.yaml for German, en.yaml for English, etc.
Beside text, images and metadata, special attributes are also extracted.
For example, the Monster datatable headers data-monster-head are extracted.
<monster-datatable>
<template id="datatable-order-list-row">
<div data-monster-head="OID" ...></a></div>
...HTML
Generate
This will generate HTML files from the prepared templates and data YAML.
The YAML must be located in the input directory. Any file with .yaml extension
will be processed.
bob html generate --input ./input/ --output ./output/ --data-files ./pages/If the --data-files' attribute is not defined, the --input' directory is used.
The yaml looks like:
test1.html:
export: en/test1.html
lang: en
title: TEST

Sync
This will sync HTML nodes from a source to a destination.
bob html sync --specification ./specification.yaml The structure of the specification file is as follows:
sync:
- source:
path: './source.html'
selector: 'head'
destination:
path: './'
exclude:
- ./source.html
keep:
- titleWith the above specification, the head node from ./source.html will be synced to all files in ./ except ./source.html.
Furthermore, the title node will be kept.
Relative paths are relative to the specification file. Absolute paths are absolute, obviously.
Cut
This will cut a node from a source file and save it to a destination template file.
bob template cut --specification ./specification.yaml The structure of the specification file is as follows:
snippet:
-
source: ./test.html
selector: 'head'
destination: ./snippets/container.html
attribute:
- selector: 'li'
name: 'class'
value: 'list-item'
replacement:
-
selector: '#myid'
content: 'replacement content'Relative paths are relative to the specification file.
