# Cleaver

PHP static site generator that builds HTML sites from JSON or Markdown content files with Laravel's Blade templates.

STUB. This software has no release or pre-release in four years, or its project site no longer shows it, so it is not part of the register, not counted and not indexed. It will be checked again.

## Notes

Cleaver renders its pages with Laravel's Blade templating engine, from content kept in JSON or Markdown files. The HTML is written to a `dist` directory inside the project, and the output is plain files that a static host can serve.

The project is created with `composer create-project`. Building a site needs Node as well as PHP, according to the [documentation](https://usecleaver.com/docs).
