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.
