Bowman

Bowman is a static site generator with an integrated toolchain, written for Node.js and built on Webpack and Browsersync. Pages are generated from EJS templates, which produce HTML markup with plain JavaScript. The npm package is installed globally, and the create-bowman-starter command creates a project. npm run dev starts a development environment and npm run build builds and serves the site for production.

Worth knowing

Content and data files must share the same folder structure and file names, or the build fails. The npm name bowman belongs to an unrelated package, so the install command is @waldronmatt/bowman. The homepage the GitHub repository lists now shows another organization’s site, so the README and the docs folder in the repository are the documentation that remains.
