# Static Generator
To generate the static content of the website, lucent provides a helper class.
## Laravel Command
Create an Artisan command and inject `StaticGenerator`:
```php
class GenerateStatic extends Command
{
protected $signature = 'generate:static';
public function __construct(
public StaticGenerator $staticGenerator,
public Context $ctx,
) {
parent::__construct();
}
public function handle(): void
{
$this->staticGenerator->run('generate:static', function ($writer) {
$writer->save("/", $this->ctx->render("homepage"));
$writer->save("/about", $this->ctx->render("about"));
});
}
}
```
`run(string $signature, callable $callback)` — the first argument must match the command's artisan signature. This is used to stream live build logs in the Lucent UI. The callback receives a `Writer` instance.
## Writer: save
Writes an HTML file at the given path:
```php
$writer->save("/blog/my-post", $html);
// writes to: storage/lucent/build/blog/my-post/index.html
```
An optional third argument changes the file extension (default `"html"`).
## Writer: createRedirect
Generates an HTML meta-refresh redirect. Useful for root-level locale redirects:
```php
$writer->createRedirect("/", "/el");
$writer->createRedirect("/", "/el", "Redirecting", "Please wait...");
```
Arguments: `from`, `to`, `title` (default `"Redirecting"`), `message` (default `"Redirecting Soon..."`).
## Writer: recordIterator
Iterates over all records in paginated batches — useful when there are too many records to load at once:
```php
$writer->recordIterator(
query: fn(int $limit, int $skip) => $query
->filter(["schema" => "blogPosts"])
->onlyPublished()
->limit($limit)
->skip($skip)
->tree(),
parser: function ($records) use ($writer) {
foreach ($records as $record) {
$writer->save(
"/blog/" . $record->data->slug,
$this->ctx->render("blogPost", $record),
);
}
},
);
```
Signature: `recordIterator(callable $query, callable $parser, int $skip = 0, int $limit = 100): int`
The `$query` callable receives `($limit, $skip)` and must return a collection. Iteration stops automatically when a batch returns zero records.
## Storage and Permissions
All generated HTML is written to `storage/lucent/build` during the run, then atomically swapped to `storage/lucent/live` on completion. Create the public symlink with:
```bash
php artisan lucent:livelink
```
The static site is then accessible at `http://localhost:8000/live`. To serve it without the `/live` prefix, add this to your nginx vhost:
```nginxconf
location / {
try_files /live$uri/index.html /live$uri $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
}
```
## Artisan Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
| `lucent:setup-db` | Create all Lucent database tables |
| `lucent:schemas` | Compile schema JSON files |
| `lucent:livelink` | Create the `public/live` symlink |
| `lucent:rebuild:thumbnails` | Regenerate thumbnails for all uploaded images |
| `lucent:removeOrphanEdges` | Remove edges pointing to deleted records |
| `lucent:generate:collection {name}` | Scaffold a new collection schema JSON file |
## Build from the Lucent UI
Register your generate command in `config/lucent.php` so admin users can trigger it from the UI:
```php
"commands" => [
"generate:static" => "Generate Static Site",
],
```
Only roles listed in `canBuild` can trigger commands from the UI.
