Create A Project With Scaffolding In Path

A scaffold project when built generates a styled site that contains a full-featured blog and uses collections, so examining its code while reading through the documentation is a great way to learn and master Trio.

Build Your Site

Build For Development Vs. Build For Release

Running build targets the root/public folder. Run this while developing your site. Trio generates a CSS map file and generates pages whose fragments are marked as a WIP.

Running release targets the root/release folder. Run this prior to deploying your site. Trio doesn't generate a CSS map file and doesn't generate pages whose fragments are marked as a WIP. Trio will clean your site's pages of all their data-trio-* tag attributes and provides the option to cache bust the generated site.
