Popular Node.js Static Site Generators – PART 2
This is the continuation of the
previous articles, Popular
Node.js Static Site Generators – PART 1. Today we are going
to explain the rest of the Node.js static generators that will help
to shook off your heavy task easily. We have been employing them to
strategize our Node.js development services and to help
our client take the share of benefits.
Just like all the Node.js static
site generators we have listed in both the article, Hexo is by far
the most popular and discussed at Github. It has a straightforward
documentation, which is indeed beautiful and includes a comment
section just at the bottom of every page. Besides, on Github you can
find a number of minimal themes many of them are forks and
derivatives of Ghost themes as well.
Hexo often considered as the common descendant of Ghost, but with the
tweak of better user expericne and minimalism. It also helps you to
get up and run as fast as possible. Hexo is the most designer
friendly system for creating lightweight blogs as well.
Punch is one of the common Node.js
static site generators that claim to be easy for use by both the
engineers and the developers. It is easy to set up Punch, but it is
able to give you more than a blank page when you start working with
it. You can find a basic starter theme for that and just like other
static site generators, Punch will not offer their user with any
custom plugin system. Rather it prefers to rely on the npm to install
alternative CSS pre-processors, JavaScript libraries and so on.
DocPad is now doubt an ambitious
project and if you look for a point-by-point illustration then you
must look into the facts that introduce a clear line of distinction
between DocPad apart from Jekyll. Just at the bottom of the DocPads
introductory page, which enables you to compare the table showing,
what each system has to offer? DocPad seems extremely necessary for a
full-featured CMS. No doubt, DocPad documentation is extensive and
exhaustive. As you have to gross through the range of features
provided by the system and making it not a good package for the
beginners. DocPad is having a simple to switch template system,
pre-processor, or to include JavaScript libraries. Their plugin
system is extensive.
Conclusion
When it comes to choosing front-end
tools, libraries and software, in general you will never fall
shortage of options. If you want to gain maximum control or perhaps
have an upper hand on the plug-and-play option, then you must use the
Node.js static site generators listed in both the article.
