Froot

Static File generation made simple

This tool is the result of some frustration with making static webpages. It's a command-line-tool which parses files, including the content of referenced files, and outputs the result to stdout.

Referencing a file works like this:

>>>"./includes/snippets/header.html"
>>>"includes/snippets/header.html"
>>>"../snippets/header.html"
<!-- >>>"includes/header.html" -->
// >>>"modules/slider.js"

Functions

• Include files in files

Unfinished Business, ToDo-s

• Needs to be tested with very large files
• Create Man-Page for maximal command-line-streetcred
• Clarify/Check behavior for recursive includes, maybe prohibit going up a folder
