Quickstart

If you’re just looking to render simple data-less templates, you can get up and running with the command line:

$ rost build

This will recursively search ./templates for templates (any file whose name does not start with . or _) and build them to ./dist.

To monitor your source directory for changes, recompile files if they change, and start a web server use watch:

$ rost watch

The build and watch each take these common options:

• --searchpath: Sets the directory to look in for templates.

• --outputpath: Sets the directory to place rendered files in.

• --staticpath (is accepted multiple times): The directory (or directories) within searchpath where static files (such as CSS and JavaScript) are stored.

Getting help on version, available commands, arguments or option names:

$ rost --version
$ rost --help
$ rost build --help
$ rost watch --help
