Description

This is a github action to publish a Logseq graph as a publishing Single Page Application (SPA). This action can also be run as a CLI.

Usage

Github Action

To setup this action, enable github pages on your repository and add the file .github/workflows/publish.yml to your graph's github repository with the content:

on: [push]

permissions:
  contents: write
jobs:
  test:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    name: Publish Logseq graph
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - uses: logseq/publish-spa@v0.3.0
      - name: Add a nojekyll file # to make sure asset paths are correctly identified
        run: touch $GITHUB_WORKSPACE/www/.nojekyll
      - name: Deploy 🚀
        uses: JamesIves/github-pages-deploy-action@v4
        with:
          folder: www

That's it! Your graph will publish on future git pushes by pushing to the gh-pages branch. Don't forget to configure your graph if you're not seeing the pages you expect to see.

NOTE: The above example may not have the latest version of this action. See CHANGELOG.md for released versions. If you'd prefer to always be on the latest version of this action, use logseq/publish-spa@main but be careful as there could be breaking changes.

Action Inputs

This action takes the following inputs:

- uses: logseq/publish-spa@main
  with:
    graph-directory: my-logseq-notes
    output-directory: out
    version: nightly

This action has the following inputs:

graph-directory

Required: Root of the graph directory. Defaults to ..

output-directory

Required: Directory where graph is published. Defaults to www.

version

Required: Specifies the version of Logseq to build the frontend. This can be a git tag (version) or a specific git SHA. Defaults to 0.10.6.

Note: A version before 0.9.2 is not supported as Logseq started supporting this action with 0.9.2.

theme-mode

Optional: Theme mode for frontend. Can be "dark" or "light". Defaults to "light".

accent-color

Optional: Accent color for frontend. Can be one of "tomato", "red", "crimson", "pink", "plum", "purple", "violet", "indigo", "blue", "cyan", "teal", "green", "grass", "orange", "brown". Defaults to "blue".

CLI

To use this as a CLI locally, first install babashka and clojure. Then:

$ git clone https://github.com/logseq/publish-spa
# If you have yarn 1.X:
$ cd publish-spa && yarn install
$ yarn global add $PWD

# Otherwise use npm:
$ cd publish-spa && npm i -g

This CLI depends on Logseq being checked out locally in order to build the static directory for it. If you haven't built the static directory, you'll need to do it once (takes some time):

$ git clone https://github.com/logseq/logseq && cd logseq
# Switch to a stable version
$ git checkout 0.10.6
# Install deps and build static directory
$ yarn install --frozen-lockfile && yarn gulp:build && clojure -M:cljs release publishing

Then use the CLI from any logseq graph directory!

$ logseq-publish-spa out
Parsing 306 files...
Export public pages and publish assets to out successfully 🎉

Development

This github action use nbb-logseq and nbb compatible libraries to build up a Logseq database and then generate html for the publishing app.

When viewing a published graph directory, it's highly recommended to use a local http server as multiple features are known to not work (e.g. assets and slides) when viewed as a static file. For example, to view the published graph out from the above example:

$ python3 -m http.server 8080 -d out
