I started delving into web components about a year ago. I really liked the idea of getting a reference to a custom element and then calling methods and setting values right on the custom element. After that I looked into Polymer 3.0, which layered on a number of conveniences and best practices. These specifically came in the area of templating, life cycle management, and property / attribute reflection. I proceeded away from Polymer 3.0 to using lit-element, and then finally just lit-html.

In this post we will take a look at the basics of the Harp static site generator. I hope that this will provide a quick foundation for getting up to speed with this simple yet powerful tool. Additionally I plan on posting more blog posts that dive deeper into Harp while also finding ways to integrate Harp with other tools and in other systems.
Assumptionsbash command linenpmgit Getting Started npm install -g harp mkdir pizza-example echo "Hello world"> pizza-example/index.ejs harp server pizza-example Now open up localhost:9000 and see your hello world HarpJS example in action! Harp is converting the ejs template into an html file. Because we did not specify a specific html file in the url it will look for an index file in the same directory.
