# tempest 

Convert `.lisp` files to `.html` templates using [spinneret](https://github.com/ruricolist/spinneret), meant for simple templating like [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) themes and plain HTML pages.

## Usage 

First, build from source. Make sure you have [SBCL](https://www.sbcl.org/), [Quicklisp](https://www.quicklisp.org/beta/) and [make](https://www.gnu.org/software/make/) set up.

```shell
make build 
```

Then a binary named `tempest` will be produced. Run it. 

```shell 
# the following command all accept multiple arguments
./tempest build <dir>   # build all tempest .lisp in dir
./tempest build-each <file>  # build each specified tempest .lisp 
# watch, for now, only accpets one
./tempest watch <dir>   # watch for changes and build modified or created .lisp 
```

Only `.lisp` file whose content starts with `;;;; TEMPEST` will be built.

# Todos

- [ ] Integrate [Parenscript](https://parenscript.common-lisp.dev/), compile `.lisp` to `.js` or `<script>` embedded in `.html`.
- [ ] `.lisp` to `.css`.
- [ ] Parse metadata defined in header comments, e.g. `;;;; OUT = ...` specifies a destination.
- [ ] Add macros for writing [Go templates](https://pkg.go.dev/text/template), e.g. `(mu ...)` to `{{ ... }}`, `(mu-if ...)` to `{{ if }}...{{ end }}`...
- [ ] Add macros for writing [Vue](https://vuejs.org/) templates
