Simple Web Server

Compile HTML and MD template files together into a static html website.

This module uses gofiber and staticweb to create a quick and easy setup for a simple web server.

For extra performance, consider adding the pages.dist directory to a cdn (like cloudflare pages) to serve static html pages.

# install the go module
go get github.com/tkdeng/simplewebserver

Usage

import (
  server "github.com/tkdeng/simplewebserver"
)

func main(){
  // create new server
  app, err := server.New("./app")

  //note: page.dist files will automatically be statically rendered,
  // and take priority over gofiber methods

  // do normal gofiber stuff (optional)
  app.Get("/api", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
    return c.SendString("Hello, API!")
  })

  //note: page.dist files will automatically be statically rendered,
  // and take priority over gofiber methods
  app.Get("/", func(c fiber.Ctx) error {
    // this will be ignored if index.html exists
    return c.SendString("Hello, World!")
  })

  // listen with openssl (default port: [http: 8080, ssl: 8443])
  err = app.Listen()
}
