Freezer

Freezer is a lightweight HTML template engine. Now you don't need to manually create many similar html pages. Freezer will do it for you. You only need to specify the content of snowflakes and their location in the project.

• Getting started
  • Adding Freezer as submodule to your repository (recommended)
  • Adding Freezer as python script to your project
• Create your first html pages

Getting started

How to use this template engine in your site project? Quite easy. Now let's look at the currently implemented Freezer connectivity options:

• Adding Freezer as submodule to your repository (recommended)

  Your site project must be in a git repository. Freezer was designed to be included in a project as a git-submodule. Freezer may be available in pip storage in the future.

  In different git GUI clients, connecting submodules can be implemented in different ways. Let's have a look at the old and reliable method: console git client.

  $ git submodule add https://github.com/mad-penguins/Freezer.git
  $ git commit -m "Add Freezer as a submodule"

  Advantage: you can always easily update Freezer to the latest version:

  $ git submodule update

  Next, create a new Freezer project:

  $ python3 Freezer/freezer.py start NameYourProject

  Note that the file tree in the repository will look like this:

  • Your_project_Folder
    • |- .git
    • |- conf
    • |- Freezer
      • |- .git
      • |- .gitignore
      • |- freezer.py
      • |- LICENSE
      • |- README.md
    • |- py
    • |- snow
    • |- src
    • |- static
    • |- var
    • |- .gitmodules
    • |- NameYourProject.freezer

  Note: files which name begins with a dot can be hidden by ls command or your file manager.

• Adding Freezer as python script to your project

  Just download the file freezer.py from the master branch and paste it into root your project directory.

  Advantage: you don't need to create a repository for your project.

  Disadvantage: to update Freezer, you will have to download the file again and replace it in the project.

  Next, create a new Freezer project:

  $ python3 freezer.py start NameYourProject

  Note that the file tree in the repository will look like this:

  • Your_project_Folder
    • |- conf
    • |- py
    • |- snow
    • |- src
    • |- static
    • |- var
    • |- freezer.py
    • |- NameYourProject.freezer

  Note: files which name begins with a dot can be hidden by ls command or your file manager.
