# Fes
A lightweight static site generator built with Go and Lua. Write your websites in Lua and generate beautiful HTML with a modern dark theme.
## Features
- 🚀 **Simple & Fast**: Minimal setup, fast development workflow
- 🎨 **Beautiful Default Theme**: Modern dark theme with clean typography
- 📝 **Lua-Powered**: Write your site logic in Lua for flexibility
- ⚙️ **TOML Configuration**: Simple configuration via `Fes.toml`
- 🔧 **Easy CLI**: Two simple commands to get started
## Installation
### Prerequisites
- Go 1.25.4 or later
- Git (for author name detection)
### Build from Source
```bash
git clone https://git.vxserver.dev/fSD/fes.git
cd fes
go build -o fes
```
## Usage
### Create a New Project
```bash
fes new <project_dir>
```
This creates a new project directory with:
- `www/index.lua` - Your main Lua file
- `Fes.toml` - Project configuration
### Run Development Server
```bash
fes run <project_dir> [-p <port>]
```
Starts a local development server (default port: 3000).
Example:
```bash
fes run my-site -p 8080
```
## Project Structure
```
my-site/
├── Fes.toml # Project configuration
└── www/
└── index.lua # Main Lua file
```
## Configuration
Edit `Fes.toml` to configure your site:
```toml
[site]
name = "My Site"
version = "0.0.1"
authors = ["Your Name"]
[fes]
version = "1.0.0"
CUSTOM_CSS = "" # Optional custom CSS
```
## Writing Your Site
Your `www/index.lua` file should use the Fes API to build your site:
```lua
local fes = require("fes")
local site = fes.site_builder()
site:h1("Hello, World!")
site:h2("Welcome to Fes")
site:custom("<p>This is a custom HTML paragraph.</p>")
return site
```
### Available Methods
- `site:h1(text)` - Heading 1
- `site:h2(text)` - Heading 2
- `site:h3(text)` - Heading 3
- `site:h4(text)` - Heading 4
- `site:h5(text)` - Heading 5
- `site:h6(text)` - Heading 6
- `site:custom(html)` - Insert custom HTML
- `site:version()` - Get site version from config
### Standard Library
Access version information via `fes.std`:
```lua
local fes = require("fes")
local site = fes.site_builder()
site:h2("Fes version: " .. fes.std.fes_version())
site:h2("Site version: " .. fes.std.site_version())
return site
```
