First, compile the generator. You'll need to install Rust (https://rustup.rs/).
cd generator-rs
cargo build
The executable binary will be available at ./generator-rs/target/debug/generator-rs and you can run it via the gen symlink in the root folder.
./gen posts
All posts should be located in ./posts folder, in markdown format. Each post should starts with some metadata:
posts/new-post.md
---
title: <string>
published: true | false | private | guest
date: YYYY-DD-mm HH:MM:SS
tags: <string>, <string>,...
description: <string>
image: <url to a featured image>
---
Make sure your published field is set to true or private (generated but not show in homepage) or guest (shown as guest post).
Run the following command:
./gen posts
Run the previewer:
./gen preview
Then you can go to http://localhost:3123/view/<file-name-without-the-extension>, for example: http://localhost:3123/view/life-with-robot.
