Anybuild documentation

Static Sites

An overview of the providers that produce and serve static output.

Static providers

Provider	Primary detection	Default output
Static Files	Staticfile, index.html, or public/index.html	Configured root
Hugo	hugo.toml/json/yaml/yml or a Hugo content layout	public
Jekyll	_config.yml or _config.yaml	_site
MkDocs	mkdocs.yml or mkdocs.yaml	site
Node Static	A recognized static framework, export configuration, or static build command	Framework-specific

Shared static runtime

Generator-specific build functions feed their output into staticfile_serve. Static sites are served with the bundled static-web-server package, and _redirects can be translated into its redirect configuration.

Node-static priority

Anybuild scores static Node.js output before the generic Node provider. A Vite, Astro, Docusaurus, Gatsby, or configured static export therefore does not need a Node start script—the built directory is served as static content.
