Pagenode is a PHP Content Management Library for static sites using flat files for storage. It allows for great flexibility with custom routing and a simple query interface.
Pagenode runs on PHP7, has no dependencies and comes in a single file weighing in at 2700 lines of code (2000 of which belong to the Markdown parser), totalling 56kb.
This makes Pagenode a good fit for your personal blog, portfolio site or product page. If you want to give it a try please read the Getting Started Guide.
Pagenode is not revolutionary in any way. It brings nothing new to the table. Instead, it removes everything that is unnecessary. I wrote an in-depth discussion about Pagenode and why it exists in my Blog.
Load up Pagenode
<?php require_once('pagenode.php');define a route, select some files, load a template
route('/blog/page-{page}', function($page) { $posts = select('blog/posts/')->newest(5, ['page' => $page]); include('templates/blog/list.html.php'); });and let Pagenode handle the current request.
dispatch();Here's the source for this very website
<?php require_once('pagenode.php'); // Handle all requests with a single keyword parameter // by trying to find a matching file. route('/{keyword}', function($keyword) { $node = select('nodes/')->one(['keyword' => $keyword]); if (!$node) { // Returning false in a route handler means this request // hasn't been handled here and will 404 return false; } include('templates/node.html.php'); }); // Internally re-route an empty request URL to the "welcome" node, // which will be handled above. reroute('/', '/welcome'); // Ordering of routes is important. By specifying a "catchall" // route last we can use it as our 404 handler. route('/*', function(){ include('templates/404.html.php'); }); dispatch();
