Examples #
See the examples folder.
Getting Started #
Start with a normal dart project with the following structure:
web/
index.md
templates/
index.html
pubspec.yaml
and in your pubspec:
name: my_awesome_blog
dependencies:
browser: any
tavern: any
transformers:
- tavern
In index.md, add some metadata and markdown:
---
title: Hello World!
category: Random
tags: ['code', 'dart']
template: index
---
foo
the templates/index.html will be associated your page. Templates use Mustache
bindings and can use any metadata specified in the markdown file. For example:
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css">
</head>
<body>
<div class="content">
<h1>{{title}}</h1>
<div id="content">
{{{content}}}
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Running and Building #
Tavern uses Pub; simply use pub serve and pub build to test and deploy your
blog.
Tags #
Tavern supports tagging articles and viewing articles associated with that tag:
For an index of tags, add a tag_index.html template and use the tags
metadata in your template:
<!--tag_index.html-->
<ul>
{{#tags}}
<li><a href="{{url}}">{{name}}</a></li>
{{/tags}}
</ul>
For "tag pages" (To list all pages associated with a tag) add a tag_page.html
template and use the posts metadata:
<!--tag_page.html-->
<ul>
{{#posts}}
<li><a href="{{url}}">{{name}}</a></li>
{{/posts}}
</ul>
Other Transformers (e.g. Polymer) #
Tavern leverages Dart's asset transformer, and can be used with other transformers. It is recommended that other transformers be run after Tavern:
transformers:
- tavern
- polymer:
entry_points:
- web/index.html
Relative Paths / baseurl #
Tavern desn't yet have support for configuring and updating the base url. For now it is recommended to use relative and absolute paths:
<a href="/tags/index.html"</a>
<a href="../../styles.css"</a>
Any templates that should assume they are at their final position when
referencing CSS, Dart, JS. For example, web/templates/index.html should assume
it has been already moved to the location of the markdown file using it (e.g.
web/index.md)
