hakyll-3.1.2.1: A simple static site generator library.

Hakyll.Core.Routes

Description

Once a target is compiled, the user usually wants to save it to the disk. This is where the Routes type comes in; it determines where a certain target should be written.

Suppose we have an item foo/bar.markdown. We can render this to foo/bar.html using:

 route "foo/bar.markdown" (setExtension ".html")

If we do not want to change the extension, we can use idRoute, the simplest route available:

 route "foo/bar.markdown" idRoute

That will route foo/bar.markdown to foo/bar.markdown.

Note that the extension says nothing about the content! If you set the extension to .html, it is your own responsibility to ensure that the content is indeed HTML.

Finally, some special cases:

  • If there is no route for an item, this item will not be routed, so it will not appear in your site directory.
  • If an item matches multiple routes, the first rule will be chosen.

Synopsis

Documentation

data Routes Source

Type used for a route

Instances

runRoutes :: Routes -> Identifier -> Maybe FilePathSource

Apply a route to an identifier

idRoute :: RoutesSource

A route that uses the identifier as filepath. For example, the target with ID foo/bar will be written to the file foo/bar.

setExtension :: String -> RoutesSource

Set (or replace) the extension of a route.

Example:

 runRoute (setExtension "html") "foo/bar"

Result:

 Just "foo/bar.html"

Example:

 runRoute (setExtension "html") "posts/the-art-of-trolling.markdown"

Result:

 Just "posts/the-art-of-trolling.html"

matchRoute :: Pattern -> Routes -> RoutesSource

Apply the route if the identifier matches the given pattern, fail otherwise

customRoute :: (Identifier -> FilePath) -> RoutesSource

Create a custom route. This should almost always be used with matchRoute

gsubRouteSource

Arguments

:: String

Pattern

-> (String -> String)

Replacement

-> Routes

Resulting route

Create a gsub route

Example:

 runRoutes (gsubRoute "rss/" (const "")) "tags/rss/bar.xml"

Result:

 Just "tags/bar.xml"

composeRoutesSource

Arguments

:: Routes

First route to apply

-> Routes

Second route to apply

-> Routes

Resulting route

Compose routes so that f composeRoutes g is more or less equivalent with f >>> g.

Example:

 let routes = gsubRoute "rss/" (const "") `composeRoutes` setExtension "xml"
 in runRoutes routes "tags/rss/bar"

Result:

 Just "tags/bar.xml"

If the first route given fails, Hakyll will not apply the second route.
