What is Metalsmith?
WHAT IS METALSMITH? Metalsmith is an extremely simple, pluggable static-site generator for NodeJS. Let us break that down:
METALSMITH IS A STATIC SITE GENERATOR The task of a static site generator is to produce static files that can be deployed to a web server. For a static site generator this means:
- take a source directory, read the source files and extract their information
- manipulate the information with plugins
- write the manipulated information to files into a destination directory (NPM is )
Metalsmith is built on this reasoning. It takes the information from the files in a source directory and it writes the manipulated information to files into a destination directory.
