Importing existing files to standard.site records #

The sitebase import commands allow you to import existing static site content into standard.site records in your PDS.

Requirements for importing #

• File(s) targeted must be either markdown or html, with YAML-formatter frontmatter
• Must have contentType, title, path and date properties
  • Make these are specifiable in import CLI flags
  • Ex: --titleProp=title, --publishedAtProp=date, --pathProp=route
  • --contentType=(markdown|html)
• Also optionally support --descriptionProp, and --tagsProp

Import process #

• Use the cli sitebase doc import command.

---

TODO #

• Refine this doc, make it nicer
• Ensure the command doc in ./cli.md aligns

QUESTIONS #

Support both doc import and pub import? #

Just worry about doc import for now. It can target multiple files if needed.

Do pretty much all SSGs work with files that have frontmatter data? I think so! #

Enough so that I'm not worried about outliers
