To build locally, install `nix` and enable flakes. To build locally, install `nix` and enable flakes. Additionally, install the
`direnv` tool so that the provided binary utilities can be hooked into your
shell. It is also possible to perform the following steps without `direnv` if
you know what you are doing.
Allow the `.envrc`:
```sh ```sh
nix build direnv allow
nix run . watch
``` ```
This starts a hot reload server at `localhost:8000`. Wait for the build to finish. Now, you will have the `rollup` and `hakyll-site`
binaries in your PATH.
We need to compile the site source code first, and then inject the bundled CSS
and JS using `rollup`. This is done automatically by `nix build`, which is used
for GitHub Pages deployment, but it is inconvenient for local development.
Here's how to do it locally.
First, we need to build the site. Run
```sh ```sh
nix run . build hakyll-site build
# sometimes, we need to ignore the cache if things aren't working
hakyll-site rebuild
# can also use `watch` for convenient development
hakyll-site watch
# starts dev server at localhost:8000
``` ```
This builds a local production version. This will create `./dist`, containing the static assets. However, the required
CSS and JS is not in there yet! That is built by `rollup`, since we are using
`tailwindcss` and `postcss` and some JS minifying tools.
If any updates are made to the JavaScript or CSS, you will need to run First, we need the `node_modules`. We don't provide a `package-lock.json` since
we don't use `npm` to manage node modules. Therefore, we need to obtain the
`node_modules` used by the project.
In the directory, there is a `node_modules` symlink to
`result/lib/node_modules`. If we build the `nodeDeps` package, the
`node_modules` will be made available at this path. So, run the following:
```sh ```sh
pnpm install # only the first time nix build .#nodeDeps
pnpm build
``` ```
This is because I still haven't figured out how to integrate the `rollup` build This will install the node modules in the Nix store and create the `result`
pipeline with `nix`. Since the CSS and JS are minimal, I just do it manually for symlink. Keep in mind that if this `result` symlink is ever overwritten, you
now. need to re-run the above command or else node_modules will not be accessible.
Finally, run the following to generate the bundled CSS and JS files.
```
rollup -c
```
You have to re-run this whenever you change the CSS and JS files in `src/`.
Keep in mind that if `hakyll-site` ever overwrites `dist/out`, you will also
have to re-run this command.
