gblog

Gblog is a blog engine that pulls posts from a Notion database and persists them in a local sqlite db. Templates are written in pug.

Installation

gleam add gblog@1
gleam add gleam_javascript # to avoid gleam compiler warning
gleam add glen             # to avoid gleam compiler warning

# this will copy the following files
#
# ├── blog.db
# ├── Dockerfile
# ├── package.json
# ├── pnpm-workspace.yaml
# └── templates
#     ├── index.html.pug
#     ├── layout.html.pug
#     ├── mixins.pug
#     ├── post.html.pug
#     └── posts.html.pug

gleam run -m gblog/init

pnpm install

The copied package.json and pnpm-workspace.yaml files allow to resolve js dependencies(pug, the Notion client, sass, esbuild, …)
from your project root.

Sync posts

Notion database should have the following properties:

• title
• status: status type witht the values “published” and “draft”
• tags: multiselect type
• excerpt: text type
• published_at: date type

# ensure following env variables are available
# .env or .env.local files are supported
NOTION_API_KEY=
NOTION_DATA_SOURCE_ID=

gleam run -m gblog/sync
