A simple static page generator for Grou.ps v2 sites.

Grou.ps v2 is a micro social networking platform for people to connect around shared interests and affiliations. You may take a quick look at the platform and its capabilities at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RhGsK7I5EkI

For getting started, you just need to install the Node dependencies using NPM by typing in:

npm install

Please note, this repo covers only the frontend components. For the backend, you need to install GraphJS-Server. GraphJS-Server can be run on your own servers, or it can be deployed in one-click to Heroku. For more information, check out GraphJS-Server README and/or this instructional video https://youtu.be/K7bWKlT0k_g

To generate a Grou.ps site, type in:

bin/generate {group_name} {group_title} --id {public_graphjs_id}

where:

• group_name is a short ASCII string
• group_title is the title of your site; may contain space and special characters.
• public_graphjs_id is your GraphJS ID. You can fetch one from https://graphjs.com

Your site will be generated under dist/{group_name} ready to be served statically.

Alternatively, you may generate a dynamic site by typing:

node server

but this is not the recommended way to run your site, it is good for preview only. You would need to create a .env file in the root of the installation; check out .env.example to see what values are required for the .env file. Then, the network can be displayed in a browser at the address http://127.0.0.1:8000/?page=home (with default settings.)
