PHPSSG, short for Personal Home Page Static Site Generator, takes a PHP-native approach to building static websites. Rather than introducing a separate template language, it uses ordinary PHP templates together with component classes.
Its rendering model separates components into different responsibilities. Renderable components work with view templates, composable components combine other elements, and buildable components can write their generated output to files. This makes the generator particularly suited to developers who prefer constructing a site through PHP objects rather than a conventional page-oriented generator.
This is free and open source software.
Key Features
- Uses ordinary PHP templates without requiring a separate template syntax.
- Invokable component classes make reusable site elements callable like regular PHP objects.
- Renderable, Composable and Buildable base classes define the main component roles.
- Components can be nested to assemble layouts and complete pages.
- Data and content can be passed into templates through component calls.
- Lifecycle hooks allow custom processing before and after important rendering stages.
- Incremental builds avoid rewriting files when their generated content has not changed.
- Uses fast content hashing to compare generated output.
- File paths and hashes can be cached on disk with attention to thread-safe access.
- Supports PHAR-based operation.
- Uses PSR-4 autoloading with Composer.
- The project structure is deliberately flexible and its defaults can be reconfigured.
- Developers can extend the supplied base classes to integrate alternative renderers and templating systems.
