Exponential Static Site Import (exp_static_html_imports) #

Imports a static site into the content tree of Exponential, page by page, into content classes, and keeps the imported pages in step with their source on every later run.

• Four source types, chosen with an option of the command:
  • --doc-html: the static export of the Exponential documentation;
  • --html-generic: any folder of HTML files, read through selectors;
  • --markdown: a folder of Markdown files with front matter, read with the help center's rules;
  • --sitemap-crawl: a live site read through its sitemap, politely.
• Your own types. A type is a PHP class implementing expStaticImportTypeInterface, registered in statichtmlimport.ini [ImportTypes]. Its rules are INI by default, or YAML, or a PHP rule class.
• Safe to run again.
  • Every page keeps its identity (a remote id from its source path).
  • Changed pages are updated, and pages an editor changed in the CMS are flagged and left alone.
  • Pages that left the source are hidden, and only trashed on request.
  • Copies of a page become redirects to it.
• Large sources. The import runs in batches, saves its position after each one, and resumes an interrupted run.
• Reports. Each run writes a JSON report (schema exp-static-import/1) and a Markdown summary, plus audit trail events.
