Quickstart

To get started, install the latest version of sta6 from Quicklisp:

(ql:quickload :sta6)

Then, create a new project:

mkdir app
cd app

Next, define your system by creating a file called app.asd with the following contents:

(asdf:defsystem "app"
  :depends-on ("sta6")
  :components ((:file "app")))

The minimal entry point should call sta6:build. Here is app.lisp:

(defpackage #:app
  (:use #:cl)
  (:export #:main))

(defun main ()
  (sta6:build))

The contents are located in src/pages.

Each page should:

• Define a package whose name matches its path (e.g., the page src/pages/page.lisp should define the package pages/page).
• Export a function named render, which is the entry point used by sta6 to generate HTML.

Create your homepage at src/pages/page.lisp:

(defpackage #:pages/page
  (:use #:cl)
  (:export #:render))

(defun pages/page:render ()
  (sta6:html5
    (:p "hello, from sta6!")))

Finally, run the app with your favorite Common Lisp implementation (sbcl, in this case):

$ sbcl
* (push #p"./" asdf:*central-registry*)
* (ql:quickload :app)
* (app:main)

The generated HTML files will be located in the build/ directory.
