Spress is a static site generator built with Symfony components and Twig as default template engine. This repository is the core of Spress application.

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

[](#installation)

Go to your app folder and input the following command:

```
composer require spress/spress-core
```

How to use?
-----------

[](#how-to-use)

The entry-point class is `Yosymfony\Spress\Core\Spress`. The below example point out how to use:

```
use Yosymfony\Spress\Core\Spress;

class MyClass
{
    public function parseSite()
    {
        $spress = new Spress();
        $spress['spress.config.site_dir'] = '/path-to-your-spress-site';
        $spress->parse();
    }
}
```

### Including draft posts

[](#including-draft-posts)

```
use Yosymfony\Spress\Core\Spress;

class MyClass
{
    public function parseSite()
    {
        $spress = new Spress();
        $spress['spress.config.site_dir'] = '/path-to-your-spress-site';
        $spress['spress.config.drafts'] = true;
        $spress->parse();
    }
}
```

### Another configuration values:

[](#another-configuration-values)

- `$spress['spress.config.env']`: Environment name `dev` by default. This option determines the configuration file in case you have a specific configuration file for that environment name. e.g: `$spress['spress.config.env'] = 'prod'`
- `$spress['spress.config.safe']`: With `true` disable all plugins. e.g: `spress['spress.config.safe'] = true`.
- `$spress['spress.config.drafts']`: Include draft posts in the transformation. `false` by default.
- `$spress['spress.config.url']`: Sets the URL base.
- `$spress['spress.config.timezone']`: Sets the timezone. E.g: "Europe/Madrid".
