Trio

About

Trio is a fast, simple yet powerful JavaScript-driven static site generator that runs on Node.

Trio caches every project asset per build, and only generates stale assets when building incrementally, which dramatically reduces build times.

Trio has almost zero configuration, includes common build-time utilities in its toolchain, and doesn't require frameworks or templating languages.

Trio uses the JavaScript Node modules that you write to augment your pages with dynamic content. You have all the latest ES6+ goodies to work with without having to transpile your code.

/**
 * append the current date and time to the HTML tag
 */

module.exports = ({ $tag }) => {
    $tag.append(new Date().toDateString());
};

Features

Integrity Checking

Checks your project's chains of dependencies and notifies you when assets can't be resolved.

Incremental Builds

Dramatically reduces project build times by limiting processing to only stale assets.

Built-In Toolchain

Trio's built-in toolchain beautifies generated markup, compiles your Sass with vendor prefixes and minification, generates CSS maps during development, and can optionally cache bust your project for release.

Blogging Platform

Trio is built from the ground up to help you create modern-day blogs with the features your readers have come to expect, such as categories, tags, article pages, category pages, tag pages, landing pages, archive pages, and link navigation.

Configuration

Trio was designed with the lofty goal of minimizing the amount of configuration that it requires to almost zero. Who likes configuration anyway, right?

Command Line

Trio provides extensive command line functionality for getting help, building and serving your sites. It was crafted with the iterative code and test process in mind.

Get Started

Install Trio $ npm i -g @4awpawz/trio, then create a new project $ trio new my-new-project/, and you are good to go!
