Statamic Static Site Generator
Generate static sites with Statamic 3.
Installation
Install the package using Composer:
composer require statamic/ssg
If you want or need to customize the way the site is generated, you can do so by publishing and modifying the config file with the following command:
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Statamic\StaticSite\ServiceProvider"
The config file will be in config/statamic/ssg.php
. This is optional and you can do it anytime.
Usage
Run the following command:
php please ssg:generate
Your site will be generated into a directory which you can deploy however you like. See Deployment Examples below for inspiration.
Multiple Workers
For improved performance, you may spread the page generation across multiple workers. This requires Spatie's Fork package. Then you may specify how many workers are to be used. You can use as many workers as you have CPU cores.
composer require spatie/fork
php please ssg:generate --workers=4
Routes
Routes will not automatically be generated. You can add any additional URLs you wish to be generated by adding them to the urls
array in the config file.
'urls' => [
'/this-route',
'/that-route',
],
You can also exclude single routes, or route groups with wildcards. This will override anything in the urls
config.
'exclude' => [
'/secret-page',
'/cheat-codes/*',
],
Dynamically adding routes
You may add URLs dynamically by providing a closure that returns an array to the addUrls
method.
use Statamic\StaticSite\SSG;
class AppServiceProvider extends Provider
{
public function boot()
{
SSG::addUrls(function () {
return ['/one', '/two'];
});
}
}
Post-generation callback
You may optionally define extra steps to be executed after the site has been generated.
use Statamic\StaticSite\SSG;
class AppServiceProvider extends Provider
{
public function boot()
{
SSG::after(function () {
// eg. copy directory to some server
});
}
}
Triggering Command Failures
If you are using the SSG in a CI environment, you may want to prevent the command from succeeding if any pages aren't generated (e.g. to prevent deployment of an incomplete site).
By default, the command will finish and exit with a success code even if there were un-generated pages. You can tell configure the SSG to fail early on errors, or even on warnings.
'failures' => 'errors', // or 'warnings'
Deployment Examples
These examples assume your workflow will be to author content locally and not using the control panel in production.
Netlify
Deploy toDeployments are triggered by committing to Git and pushing to GitHub.
- Create a site in your Netlify account
- Link the site to your desired GitHub repository
- Add build command
php please ssg:generate
(if you need to compile css/js, be sure to add that command too. e.g.php please ssg:generate && npm install && npm run prod
). - Set publish directory
storage/app/static
After your site has an APP_URL...
- Set it as an environment variable. Add
APP_URL
https://thats-numberwang-47392.netlify.com
Finally, generate an APP_KEY
to your .env file locally using php artisan key:generate
and copy it's value, then...
- Set it as an environment variable. Add
APP_KEY
[your app key value]
S3 Asset Containers
If you are storing your assets in an S3 bucket, the .env
s used will need to be different to the defaults that come with Laravel, as they are reserved by Netlify. For example, you can amend them to the following:
# .env
AWS_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID=
AWS_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=
AWS_S3_DEFAULT_REGION=
AWS_S3_BUCKET=
AWS_URL=
Be sure to also update these in your s3
disk configuration:
// config/filesystems.php
's3' => [
'driver' => 's3',
'key' => env('AWS_S3_ACCESS_KEY_ID'),
'secret' => env('AWS_S3_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY'),
'region' => env('AWS_S3_DEFAULT_REGION'),
'bucket' => env('AWS_S3_BUCKET'),
'url' => env('AWS_URL'),
],
Vercel
Deploy toDeployments are triggered by committing to Git and pushing to GitHub.
- Create a new file called
./build.sh
and paste the code snippet below. - Run
chmod +x build.sh
on your terminal to make sure the file can be executed when deploying. - Import a new site in your Vercel account
- Link the site to your desired GitHub repository
- Add build command
./build.sh
- Set output directory to
storage/app/static
- Add environment variable in your project settings:
APP_KEY
<copy & paste from dev>
Code for build.sh
Add the following snippet to build.sh
file to install PHP, Composer, and run the ssg:generate
command:
#!/bin/sh
# Install PHP & WGET
yum install -y amazon-linux-extras
amazon-linux-extras enable php7.4
yum clean metadata
yum install php php-{common,curl,mbstring,gd,gettext,bcmath,json,xml,fpm,intl,zip,imap}
yum install wget
# INSTALL COMPOSER

php -r "copy('https://getcomposer.org/installer', 'composer-setup.php');"
ACTUAL_CHECKSUM="$(php -r "echo hash_file('sha384', 'composer-setup.php');")"
if [ "$EXPECTED_CHECKSUM" != "$ACTUAL_CHECKSUM" ]
then
>&2 echo 'ERROR: Invalid installer checksum'
rm composer-setup.php
exit 1
