Jik Website

Static website for the Jik programming language.

Local Preview

Open index.html in a browser.

Build Shared Layout

Shared navigation and footer live in src/partials/.

After changing them, run:

node scripts/build-site.js

On Windows PowerShell, this also works:

npm.cmd run build

Update After a Jik Release

After publishing a new Jik release, regenerate the website content:

npm.cmd run update

This updates the generated documentation pages, latest release card, and the package list on packages.html, and the example sources on examples.html. It also keeps the Linux download and VS Code extension installation commands in sync with the latest release. The package list is read from the ## Packages section of the jik-packages README. To test the flow with fixtures:

npm.cmd run update:test

Commit install.html, packages.html, examples.html, and the generated docs/ HTML files after regenerating them.

To refresh just the examples from the compiler repository, run npm.cmd run update:examples. For a local compiler checkout, use node scripts/update-examples.js --source ../jik/examples. All .jik files are included, with new files appearing under "More examples" until grouped in scripts/update-examples.js. Sources are embedded in the page, so browsing works offline and does not need GitHub requests from visitors. The modules example includes both files.
