Usage

Use Google spreadsheet as your simple CMS

Do you create static web sites for your clients? Do they call you when they need some changes?

With Restatic you may leave them editing their data in Google Spreadsheet and regenerate the site when needed. You will provide them with envronment which they know and love (hope your clients are smart enough to love Google Docs).

Add markup to your static site

Just put to your html markup pointing to your data, for example /-Posts-B2-/

  • '/-' and '-/' are separators (delimiters)
  • 'Posts' is a sheet name (gdocs spreadsheet page name)
  • 'B2' is the cell address
  • '-' is a separator between sheet name and the cell specification

Publish your Google spreadsheet

Turn on "Publish to the web" (In File->Publish to the web) and you get the spreadsheet key.

Configure restatic with restatic.yml

  • googleSpreadSheetKey: 0AtkoCAIRJ7BPdGM2Y2tYdV9XRXNsNVVrVnFPeFIwb0E
  • delimiter: /-, -/ (optional)

Call restatic to regenerate your site

restatic /path/to/source/dir /path/to/target/dir'

Your freshly built site will be generated into target dir. Or alternatively go to the source directory and run restatic -d and your site will be generate to _site directory in source dir.
