Jekyll is a static site generator. It takes text written in your favorite markup language and uses layouts to create a static website. You can tweak the site’s look and feel, URLs, the data displayed on the page, and more.
Create your Jekyll site
If you don’t have an existing Jekyll site, you can create one by running:
Terminal
gem install bundler jekyll
jekyll new my-jekyll-site
cd my-jekyll-site
Add Layer0
Terminal
# First, globally install the Layer0 CLI:
npm i -g @layer0/cli # yarn global add @layer0/cli
# Next, create a stub package.json:
npm init
# Then, add Layer0 to your Jekyll site:
0 init
Update your Layer0 Router
Paste the following into routes.js:
JavaScript
import { Router } from '@layer0/core'
const ONE_DAY = 60 * 60 * 24
const FAR_FUTURE = ONE_DAY * 365 * 10
export default new Router()
.match('/assets/:path*', ({ serveStatic, cache }) => {
cache({
browser: {
maxAgeSeconds: ONE_DAY,
},
edge: {
maxAgeSeconds: ONE_DAY,
staleWhileRevalidateSeconds: FAR_FUTURE,
},
})
serveStatic('_site/assets/:path*')
})
.match('/:path*', ({ serveStatic, cache }) => {
cache({
browser: false,
edge: {
maxAgeSeconds: ONE_DAY,
staleWhileRevalidateSeconds: FAR_FUTURE,
},
})
serveStatic('_site/:path*')
})
Deploy to Layer0
To deploy your site to Layer0, run:
Terminal
# Create a production build of your Jekyll site
bundle exec jekyll build
# Deploy it to Layer0
0 deploy
