Rosid

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

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.
