Assemble is a Node.js command line tool and developer framework for static site generation, rapid prototyping, scaffolding, and building documentation, themes, and boilerplates. It offers a plugin-based API with task, template, and file-system APIs and integrates with Gulp and Grunt workflows.
Use cases
- generate a static site or blog with node.js
- jekyll alternative for github pages without ruby
- build api documentation from markdown templates
- scaffold project boilerplates and themes
- rapid prototyping of html pages with handlebars layouts
- build ui component libraries and style guides
- integrate static site builds into gulp or grunt pipelines
When to choose
- you want a Node.js-based static site generator instead of Ruby Jekyll
- you need template-driven scaffolding, docs, or gh-pages builds
- your workflow already uses Gulp or Grunt
When to avoid
- you need a modern, actively developed generator with a large ecosystem
- you want zero-config static site generation with hot reload out of the box
- you don't want to write an assemblefile.js or task configuration
