Files aren't generated for extensions besides .md and .emu

[dillonkearns]

The problem is that currently the extension is hardcoded for .md files here:

elm-pages/generator/src/elm-pages.js

Lines 46 to 65 in eb5b7b7

	const content = glob.sync(contentGlobPath, {}).map(unpackMarkup);
	const staticRoutes = generateRecords();
	const markdownContent = glob
	.sync("content/**/*.md", {})
	.map(unpackFile)
	.map(({ path, contents }) => {
	return parseMarkdown(path, contents);
	});
	const images = glob
	.sync("images/**/*", {})
	.filter(imagePath => !fs.lstatSync(imagePath).isDirectory());
	let app = Elm.Main.init({
	flags: {
	argv: process.argv,
	versionMessage: version,
	content,
	markdownContent,
	images

.emu files need special treatment so they can remain separate. Removing the hardcoded .md extension should fix the problem.

This is really holding me back. I need to be able to parse different types of files. I'm using dillonkearns/elm-markdown and it does not parse HTML. I tried defining my own htmlDocument and it does not work:

main =
    Pages.application
        { init = init
        , view = view
        , update = update
        , subscriptions = subscriptions
        , documents = [ markdownDocument, htmlDocument ]
        , head = head
        , manifest = manifest
        , canonicalSiteUrl = canonicalSiteUrl
        }

htmlDocument =
    let
        res =
            \md ->
                case HP.run md of
                    Ok hp_nodes ->
                        Ok (H.div [] (HPU.toVirtualDom hp_nodes))

                    Err deadends ->
                        Ok (H.text (Parser.deadEndsToString deadends))
    in
    Pages.Document.parser
        { extension = "html"
        , metadata = Metadata.decoder
        , body = res
        }

I'm doing my best to keep on top of these issues. There are a lot of people using elm-pages, and I'm working on a big new feature. And I'm getting married in less than a month, so it's crunch time. I'll do my best to work through the queue and push out some new changes, but please have patience as it's a super busy time for me.

Of course! :) And congrats!!! Definitely worry about the wedding and (hopefully) honeymoon first. I just wanted you to know I’m using it for a critical project (accepting the risks, of course) so you could prioritize amongst other things. I’m looking forward to your new feature, which, I think, is the ability to bring in data from an external source (say through GraphQL), which is also an important feature for my long-term plans. No worries. Thanks for all you do to contribute to the Elm ecosystem. I also love to read your code - I’ve learned a lot.

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

Thanks for understanding! I'm excited to hear that you're using it for your project, and definitely want to make it work for your needs!

And yeah, that's right I'm working on the StaticHttp functionality right now, which is actually getting pretty close to production-ready! Here's some (already working!) code to give you a sense of what it will look like:

elm-pages/examples/external-data/src/Main.elm

Lines 119 to 179 in 4023bf8

	airtableRequest : StaticHttp.Request (List Company)
	airtableRequest =
	StaticHttp.jsonRequestWithSecrets
	(\secrets ->
	secrets
	|> Secrets.get "AIRTABLE_API_KEY"
	|> Result.map
	(\airtableApiKey ->
	"https://api.airtable.com/v0/appNsAv2iE9mFm56N/Table%201?view=Approved&api_key=" ++ airtableApiKey
	)
	)
	(Decode.field "records"
	(Decode.list
	(Decode.field "fields"
	(Decode.map3 Company
	(Decode.field "Company Name" Decode.string)
	(Decode.field "Company Logo" (Decode.index 0 (Decode.field "url" Decode.string)))
	(Decode.field "Significant lines of Elm code (in thousands)"
	(Decode.index 0 Decode.string)
	)
	)
	)
	)
	)
	view :
	List ( PagePath Pages.PathKey, Metadata )
	->
	{ path : PagePath Pages.PathKey
	, frontmatter : Metadata
	}
	->
	StaticHttp.Request
	{ view : Model -> View -> { title : String, body : Html Msg }
	, head : List (Head.Tag Pages.PathKey)
	}
	view siteMetadata page =
	case page.frontmatter of
	() ->
	StaticHttp.map2
	(\elmCompanies starCount ->
	{ view =
	\model viewForPage ->
	{ title = "Landing Page"
	, body =
	(header starCount
	:: (elmCompanies
	|> List.map companyView
	)
	)
	|> Element.column [ Element.width Element.fill ]
	|> layout
	}
	, head = head page.frontmatter
	}
	)
	airtableRequest
	(StaticHttp.jsonRequest "https://api.github.com/repos/dillonkearns/elm-pages"
	(Decode.field "stargazers_count" Decode.int)
	)

I'm actually getting some help in a sort of closed beta round right now on it, and it's working really nicely. It skips GraphQL entirely, which I love because it reduces the number of extra abstractions... you just directly ask for the data in your Elm code, and it grabs it in the build step! I'm working on StaticHttp.andThen right now, which will allow for some really interesting possibilities. As you may have seen, I'm tracking that at https://github.com/dillonkearns/elm-pages/projects/1.

Thanks for your interest in the project! I appreciate the feedback, please keep it coming. I'll do my best to get out some of these features and fixes before I head out for the wedding 😄

Nice! I love Airtable and was definitely going to be using it for one of my sources.

[dillonkearns]

This is published now 👍 Be sure to update both the NPM and Elm packages to get the fix.
