<p>I've been using Drupal since 2008 and built the first version of my website with Drupal 6 before updating it to Drupal 7.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Around that time, I discovered static site generators and built the next version of my website with Jekyll.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I liked how I could write content in simple plain files, export them to HTML and upload them to a server.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Static websites are fast and secure.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There was no need for PHP or a database. Just a simple web server like Apache or Nginx that can serve static files.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I later switched to Sculpin, a static site generator written with PHP, which has a lot of similarities with Drupal.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>But what if you want the power of Drupal with the benefits of a static website?</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><a href="https://www.drupal.org/project/tome">Tome</a> is a module that turns Drupal into a static site generator.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Drupal works the same locally with access to all the usual core functionality and contrib modules and themes from Drupal.org, but you export everything to static files - the same as using Jekyll or Sculpin.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Sam Mortenson, the creator of the Tome module discussed it on <a href="/podcast/19-sam-mortenson">our episode of the Beyond Blocks podcast</a> where we also talked about single file components.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>If you want the power of a flexible content management system and the performance and security benefits of a static website, Tome gives you the best of both worlds.</p>
