Elder2fs
========

[](#elder2fs)

This tool connects to Elder and renders KB articles into regular md files.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require "silverstripeltd/elder2fs"

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

In your project root, create `elder2fs.yml`. Here is an example:

```
elderUrl:
variables:
  platform:
    companyName: Terrible Ideas Ltd.
pages:
  stuff:
    index.md:
      url: https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/blob/4/docs/en/index.md
    installation.md:
      url: https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-framework/tree/4/docs/en/00_Getting_Started/01_Installation/index.md

```

`elderUrl` is the address at which Elder is running. It's specific to your infrastructure.

`variables` must contain all variables required by the KBs being rendered, otherwise Elder API calls will fail.

`pages` is the output tree of directories and Markdown files. Missing directories will be created.

Once configured, you can run elder2fs by:

```
vendor/bin/elder2fs

```

If it's human operated, you might want to ensure caches are flushed, especially if you have just committed some changes:

```
vendor/bin/elder2fs --flush

```
