Prebuild Generation¶

The prebuild script builds content which hugo is not able to create.

Meeting Stubs¶

Hugo is not able to generate “new” pages from data sources. Prebuild can read meeting data from hugo’s data source and generate stub files.

Printable PDF¶

This is a foldable PDF that is intended to be printed on two sides and then folded twice, with Al-Anon meetings on one inner sheet and AA meetings on a full inner sheet.

If there is enough interest, this can be broken into a separate repository and turned into a more flexible design.

Live Example:

Script Arguments¶

Arguments which define how prebuild is bootstrapped.

$ python3 ./prebuild.py -h
usage: prebuild.py [-h] <optional arguments>

options:
  -h, --help         show this help message and exit
  -c X, --config X   Configuration directory (default: ./prebuild.yaml)
  -r X, --runtime X  Runtime overrides for yaml configuration values (default: "{}")
  -v, --verbose      Use verbose logging

basic example:
  python3 ../prebuild.py

complicated example:
  prebuild.py -c ../prebuild.yaml --runtime '{"stub-path": "test/{shortcode}.md"}'

Configuration File¶

Configuration read from prebuild.yaml and merged with --runtime.

Default Values:

# List of content to build
builders: [stubs, pdf]

# Location of meeting data (directory will be checked if .yaml is missing)
meeting-data: data/meetings.yaml

# Location of generated stubs
# CAUTION: Any files matching this pattern will be purged before generation
stub-path: content/meetings/{shortname}.md

# Location of generated .pdf (and .tex)
pdf-path: static/meeting-schedule.pdf

# Number of columns used to display content
pdf-cols:

  # Columns used on the second page (full sheet)
  aalist: 4

  # Columns used on the front (quarter sheet)
  anonlist: 2

# Hide day-of-week header if there are no meetings within
hide-empty:
  aalist: false
  anonlist: false

Required Values: (example provided)
