Hexo command system

The Hexo command system provides a CLI interface for managing the content and structure of a static blog. It includes specific commands for creating posts, managing drafts, and generating independent pages^[600-developer__blog__hexo-blog__Hexo-command.md].

Creating Posts

New blog posts are generated using the new post command^[600-developer__blog__hexo-blog__Hexo-command.md]. This command utilizes templates located in the scaffolds directory to create the file^[600-developer__blog__hexo-blog__Hexo-command.md].

Syntax: 

hexo new post "文章名称"

This command is functionally equivalent to the shorter syntax hexo new "文章名称"^[600-developer__blog__hexo-blog__Hexo-command.md].

Draft Management

Hexo includes a specific workflow for unpublished content using the drafts layout^[600-developer__blog__hexo-blog__Hexo-command.md]. This allows users to manage work that is not yet ready for publication.

  • Create Draft: To create a new draft, use hexo new drafts "文章名称"^[600-developer__blog__hexo-blog__Hexo-command.md].
  • Publish: When a draft is complete, hexo publish "文章名称" moves the file from the drafts folder to the posts directory^[600-developer__blog__hexo-blog__Hexo-command.md].
  • Preview: Drafts are hidden by default. To view them during local development, the server must be started with the --drafts flag^[600-developer__blog__hexo-blog__Hexo-command.md]: 
    hexo server --drafts

Creating Pages

In addition to posts, Hexo can generate standalone pages that do not belong to the post chronology^[600-developer__blog__hexo-blog__Hexo-command.md]. Executing hexo new page "文章名称" creates a new folder for the page^[600-developer__blog__hexo-blog__Hexo-command.md].

The resulting URL structure follows the format http://localhost:4000/"文章名称"/index.html^[600-developer__blog__hexo-blog__Hexo-command.md].

Layout System

The visual rendering of these commands is determined by the theme's layout system. The structure typically involves a main layout.ejs file which includes specific partials like index.ejs to render the content^[600-developer__blog__hexo-blog__Hexo-command.md].
