Node.js server and static site generator that transforms source files with handlers when they are requested and can compile them to a folder.

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

Rosid is a Node.js server and static site generator. Its development server transforms each requested file with a handler when the request arrives and reloads the browser when files change. The compile command runs the same transforms and writes the results to a folder of static files that can be hosted anywhere.

Rosid selects handlers for files with a rosidfile.json or rosidfile.js in the working directory. Handlers are separate npm packages, such as the Sass handler, and the project's own documentation names EJS, Nunjucks and Twig handlers among them.

## Worth knowing

The README says that installing Rosid with npm's --no-optional flag skips a lot of dependencies and makes the serve function unavailable.
