Prototype: Markdown and static assets support for SSG 🛠

• mini-ssg

  MINI - A minimalist static site generator written in JS.

With the features in mind, I began by creating an issue on my repo, detailing what I needed to do, and providing suggestions or resources to help me accomplish it. Implementing the code was not too difficult, and I realized that I could add more features to improve my SSG. After being satisfied with how the markdown support works, I began editing the issue to include support for static assets. It is a nice feature to have in my project, as I think images and favicons are common in most web pages today.

  Easy to maintain open source documentation websites.

  

In the past two weeks, I had the chance to play around with Docusaurus, a React-based static site generator built and maintained by Facebook. Inspired by the feature-rich and beginner-friendly nature of the project, I decided to steal some of their ideas and apply them to my own.

• markdown-it

  55 17,208 8.5 JavaScript

  Markdown parser, done right. 100% CommonMark support, extensions, syntax plugins & high speed

  

While working on the feature for static assets, I realized that I couldn't find a way to customize markdown.it (the packages used for markdown support) to refer to the newly created /assets folder. As such, I had to develop a workaround by using regex, and in the end, managed to make it work.
