Developing with Madam

Run madam init in your project directory and setup your madam.yml via command line wizard.

Here you can find a beautiful madam.yml configuration that covers all Madam features.

name: "Awesome Madam"
path: "./example"                   # path to your root HTML project
port: 1230                          # optional | default 1010

# Paths for layouts, views or partials
# These paths are prepended with project path provided above
# For example, layouts will point to "./example/layouts"
templates:
    layouts: "layouts"              # directory path for layouts
    views: "views"                  # directory path for views
    partials: "partials"            # directory path for partials


routes:
    get:
        about: "about.html"
        products/my-product: "product.html"
        publish: "publish.html"

# Define your custom Middlewares
middlewares:
    auth: "@login.session"      # a fake auth middleware

# Setup Static Assets to serve any kind of static files via Madam
assets:
    source: "./dist/assets/*"        # Path on disk for indexing the static assets
    public: "/assets"                # Public route for accessing the static assets

# Customize console output
console:
    logger: true                    # Enable http request logger
    clear: true                     # Clear previous console output on request

Madam Skins

The way you can stay DRY. Madam brings layouts, views and partials logic to your project.

On hold, Madam depends on 👉 Tim Template Engine (WIP)
