You’ll only have to change a few settings and you’re ready to go. [View a preview of the blog template.](http://jigsaw-blog-template.tighten.co/) Installation ------------ [](#installation) After installing Jigsaw, run the following command from your project directory: ``` ./vendor/bin/jigsaw init blog ``` This starter template includes samples of common page types, and comes pre-configured with: - A fully responsive navigation bar - [Tailwind CSS](https://tailwindcss.com/), a utility CSS framework that allows you to customize your design without touching a line of CSS - Syntax highlighting using [Prism](https://prismjs.com/) - A script that automatically generates a `sitemap.xml` file - A custom 404 page - A sample contact form - A search bar powered by [Fuse.js](http://fusejs.io/) and [Alpine.js](https://alpinejs.dev/), which indexes your content automatically and requires zero configuration --- [![Blog starter template screenshot](/.github/screenshots/template-blog.png)](/.github/screenshots/template-blog.png) --- ### Configuring your new site [](#configuring-your-new-site) As with all Jigsaw sites, configuration settings can be found in `config.php`; you can update the variables in that file with settings specific to your site. You can also add new configuration variables there to use across your site; take a look at the [Jigsaw documentation](http://jigsaw.tighten.co/docs/site-variables/) to learn more. ``` // config.php return [ 'baseUrl' => 'https://my-awesome-jigsaw-site.com/', 'production' => false, 'siteName' => 'My Site', 'siteDescription' => 'Give your blog a boost with Jigsaw.', ... ]; ``` > Tip: This configuration file is also where you’ll define any "collections" (for example, a collection of the contributors to your site, or a collection of blog posts organized by topic). Check out the official [Jigsaw documentation](https://jigsaw.tighten.co/docs/collections/) to learn more. --- ### Adding Content [](#adding-content) You can write your content using a [variety of file types](http://jigsaw.tighten.co/docs/content-other-file-types/). By default, this starter template expects your content to be located in the `source/_posts/` folder. The top of each content page contains a YAML header that specifies how it should be rendered. The `title` attribute is used to dynamically generate HTML `title` and OpenGraph tags for each page. The `extends` attribute defines which parent Blade layout this content file will render with (e.g. `_layouts.post` will render with `source/_layouts/post.blade.php`), and the `section` attribute defines the Blade "section" that expects this content to be placed into it. ``` --- extends: _layouts.post section: content title: Getting Started date: 2022-08-02 description: Getting started with the Jigsaw blog starter template cover_image: /assets/img/post-cover-image-2.png featured: true --- ``` --- ### Adding Assets [](#adding-assets) Any assets that need to be compiled, such as JavaScript or CSS using Tailwind, can be added to the `source/_assets/` directory. Vite will process them when running `npm run dev` or `npm run build`, and the processed assets will be stored in `/build_local` or `/build_production`, respectively. Files that don't require processing (such as images and fonts) can be added directly to `/source/assets/`. [Read more about compiling assets in Jigsaw using Vite.](http://jigsaw.tighten.co/docs/compiling-assets/) --- Building Your Site ------------------ [](#building-your-site) Now that you’ve edited your configuration variables and know how to customize your styles and content, let’s build the site. ``` # run development server npm run dev # build static files with Vite npm run build ``` ### Health Score 55 — FairBetter than 98% of packages Maintenance62 Regular maintenance activity Popularity46 Moderate usage in the ecosystem Community28 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity71 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
