Installation

Add nucleusflow to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
nucleusflow = "0.0.1"

Usage

Here's a basic example of how to use nucleusflow:

use nucleusflow::{NucleusFlow, NucleusFlowConfig, FileContentProcessor, HtmlOutputGenerator, HtmlTemplateRenderer};
use std::path::PathBuf;

// Create configuration
let config = NucleusFlowConfig::new(
    "content",
    "public",
    "templates"
).expect("Failed to create config");

// Initialize processors with the concrete implementations
let content_processor = FileContentProcessor::new(PathBuf::from("content"));
let template_renderer = HtmlTemplateRenderer::new(PathBuf::from("templates"));
let output_generator = HtmlOutputGenerator::new(PathBuf::from("public"));

// Create NucleusFlow instance
let nucleus = NucleusFlow::new(
    config,
    Box::new(content_processor),
    Box::new(template_renderer),
    Box::new(output_generator)
);

// Process content
nucleus.process().expect("Failed to process content");

CLI Usage

# Create a new site
nucleusflow new my-site --template blog

# Build the site
nucleusflow build --content content/ --output public/

This example demonstrates setting up NucleusFlow with a Markdown processor, Handlebars templating, and HTML output generation.
