Build DANK webpages

Get developing right away:

bun create dank --out-dir www

npm create dank -- --out-dir www

pnpm create dank --out-dir www

DANK has some perks:

• Webpage-first development for multi-page websites
• TypeScript supported with <script src="./dank.ts">
• Code splitting via esbuild bundler across all webpages
• Hashes added to all bundled assets for efficient cache utilization
• dank serve hot-reloads CSS in the browser
• dank serve launches dev services to streamline your workflow
• dank preview serves a production build for preview
• dank build minifies and tree-shakes with esbuild
• DANK's codebase is so tiny you can read it all in 20 minutes

DANK isn't for every use case!

Vite is the right move for building a Single-Page Application.

Dynamic content with Static-Site Generation or Server-Side Rendering should use Astro.

DANK is an ideal choice for multi-page websites deployed to a CDN that integrate with serverless components and APIs.

dank.config.ts examples

Webpages and their URLs are configured explicitly to keep your URLs and workspace organized independently:

import { defineConfig } from '@eighty4/dank'

export default defineConfig({
    pages: {
        '/': './home.html',
    },
})

Streamline development with dank serve launching APIs and databases when starting your website's dev server:

import { defineConfig } from '@eighty4/dank'

export default defineConfig({
    pages: {
        '/': './home.html',
    },
    services: [
        {
            command: 'node --watch --env-file-if-exists=.env.dev server.ts',
            cwd: './api',
        },
    ],
})
