This is my personal blog. Just because I can. And because the domain was available, you know.
View this blog on its homepage.
After downloading/cloning this repository, run the following commands from your project directory:
composer install
yarnYou can write your content using a variety of file types.
By default, genieblog.ch expects new posts to be located in the source/_posts_lan/ folder, where lan is the language shortcut.
Currently, I support this blog in german (de) as well as english (en).
The top of each content page contains a YAML header that specifies how it should be rendered.
The title attribute is used to dynamically generate HTML title and OpenGraph tags for each page.
The extends attribute defines which parent Blade layout this content file will render with
(e.g. _layouts.post will render with source/_layouts/post.blade.php),
and the section attribute defines the Blade "section" that expects this content to be placed into it.
Example:
---
extends: _layouts.post
section: content

---Additional features of the content include mathemathics (powered by MathJax),
which is injected upon finding <math> or <inline-math>.
Note that inside these tags, you should use LaTeX.
Any assets that need to be compiled (such as JavaScript, Less, or Sass files) can be added to the source/_assets/ directory,
and Laravel Mix will process them when running npm run local or npm run production.
The processed assets will be stored in /source/assets/build/ (note there is no underscore on this second assets directory).
Then, when Jigsaw builds your site, the entire /source/assets/ directory containing your built files
(and any other directories containing static assets, such as images or fonts, that you choose to store there)
will be copied to the destination build folders (build_local, on your local machine).
Files that don't require processing (such as images and fonts) can be added directly to /source/assets/.
With my setup though, the images are preprocessed too: they are scaled and compressed.

Now that you’ve edited your configuration variables and know how to customize your styles and content, let’s build the site.
# build static files with Jigsaw
./vendor/bin/jigsaw build
# compile assets with Laravel Mix
# options: dev, staging, production
npm run dev
