example-generic-website

This repo serves as an example website generated with the generic-website package. It's super minimalistic, as it is meant to be.

A brief explanation of all the files in this repo

• .gitignore -> Assuming this is fairly straightforward as you're browsing this on github.
• .gwrc -> This is probably the most important file as it describes the website you want generated in JSON.
• package.json -> No fields are truly filled in (on purpose). the only things that really matter are within the dependencies field. You notice the generic-website package + express. Of course, you can use any nodejs server with the generic-website package (like Koa or Hapi), I'm just familiar with express. Next to dependencies we have 1 devDependency, nodemon is currently used to run the express server. Considering the fact that this package should only be used for very simple static websites, nodemon will probably suffice. Sorry webpack lovers.
• server.js -> Probably the most standard server config ever. There is, however, 1 interesting line:

res.send(generateWebsite())

The generateWebsite function is provided by the generic-website package. It parses the .gwrc file to an html string (yes a string! Server-side rendering ftw!).
