Paste
-----

[](#paste)

- Paste is a lightweight "CMS" built around static files and folders instead of a database.
- Each HTML file represents a page in the menu, each folder represents a section, to infinite depth.
- [Mustache](http://mustache.github.io/) is used for logic-less templating including partials.
- Variables and templating cascade down through the site heirarchy.
- Configuration is defined within the HTML source, like so:

```

```

#### Design Goals

[](#design-goals)

- simple routing with user-definable routes and closures
- [Mustache](http://mustache.github.io/) for ultra dumb templating
- flexible templates and cascading page partials
- configuration via simple inline syntax
- takes some cues from [Stacey App](http://www.staceyapp.com/).
- use latest PHP tech, e.g. Composer

#### Requirements

[](#requirements)

- PHP 5.3+
- Apache mod\_rewrite
- [Mustache.php](https://github.com/bobthecow/mustache.php) (installed automatically by Composer)

    "require": {
        "paste/paste": "dev-master"
    }
}
```

Create an `index.php` file for the front router: [(or copy from the demo site)](https://github.com/paste/paste-demo/blob/master/index.php)
