Martinet
A simplified build system for static sites and single-page webapps, based on Webpack 3.
Overview
Martinet is a command-line tool designed specifically for building static websites and single-page web applications with ease. By leveraging the power of the Webpack module bundler without requiring users to delve into its complexities, Martinet aims to streamline the development process for those creating hybrid web projects. With a focus on modern web practices, it enables developers to efficiently manage dependencies and produce optimized output seamlessly.
This tool utilizes a straightforward configuration setup through a file named martinet.json, where users can define their pages and preferred template and style languages. The result is a well-structured web distribution that not only enhances performance but also simplifies the development workflow, making it a valuable asset for developers looking to create responsive web applications.
Features
- Modern Language Support: Compatibility with ES2017, TypeScript, LessCSS, Pug, HTML, and CSS ensures flexibility in development.
- Dependency Management: Easy integration of npm-installed dependencies makes it simple to include essential libraries and tools.
- Parallel Builds: Leverages multicore systems for faster build times, optimizing the development workflow.
- Asset Bundling and Versioning: Automatically manages separate cacheable content and versions assets effectively.
- Tree-Shaking: Reduces bundle sizes by eliminating unused ES6 modules, enhancing load performance.
- Auto-Refreshing Server: Provides a convenient development environment with live-reloading capabilities.
- Static Data Injection: Supports injecting JSON data files directly into templates for dynamic content generation.
- Framework Support: Offers additional compatibility for modern frameworks, including single-file VueJs components and Angular templating.
- Express
Express.js is a simple Node.js framework for single, multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- LESS
Less CSS is a dynamic stylesheet language that extends the capabilities of CSS, allowing developers to write cleaner, more modular, and reusable stylesheets with features like variables, mixins, and nested rules.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Webpack
Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
