Blendid is a delicious stand-alone blend of tasks and build tools that form a full-featured modern asset pipeline. It can be used as-is as a static site builder, or can be configured and integrated into your own development environment and site or app structure.

Quick start on a fresh project (empty directory)

echo "22" > .nvmrc
nvm install $(< .nvmrc)
yarn set version berry
echo "nodeLinker: node-modules\nenableGlobalCache: false" >> .yarnrc.yml
yarn init
yarn add -D @hckr_/blendid
yarn blendid init
yarn blendid

This will create default src and config files in your directory and start compiling and live-updating files! Try editing them and watch your browser auto-update!

Import existing WordPress site

You can import existing pages and posts into the project from any WordPress instance by running import-wp task:

yarn blendid import-wp --url https://example.worpress.com --pages --posts

Pages are imported into src/html. Post are imported into src/data/posts. You can then add generate.json and html.collections: ["posts"] into your task-config.mjs to be used in your templates.

Texy! Typography

Blendid contains Texy! Typography module to correct many typographic mistakes. You can apply Nunjucks filter processTypography(locale) in your templates on any inline text.

Texy! Typography module is also included as a Marked extension in the default configuration.

This will automatically apply typographic corrections on all your Markdowns – used in templates via {% markdown %} or in data.collections via generate-json task.
