Jekyll

Jekyll is a static site generator. It takes text written in your favorite markup language and uses layouts to create a static website. You can tweak the site’s look and feel, URLs, the data displayed on the page, and more.

Create your Jekyll site

If you don’t have an existing Jekyll site, you can create one by running:

Bash
gem install bundler jekyll
jekyll new my-jekyll-site
cd my-jekyll-site

Add Edgio

Bash
# First, globally install the Edgio CLI:
npm i -g @layer0/cli # yarn global add @layer0/cli
# Next, create a stub package.json:
npm init
# Then, add Edgio to your Jekyll site:
0 init

Update your Edgio Router

Paste the following into routes.js:

JavaScript
import { Router } from '@layer0/core'

const ONE_DAY = 60 * 60 * 24
const FAR_FUTURE = ONE_DAY * 365 * 10

export default new Router()
  // Prevent search engine bot(s) from indexing
  // Read more on: https://docs.layer0.co/applications/cookbook#blocking-search-engine-crawlers
  .noIndexPermalink()
  .match('/assets/:path*', ({ serveStatic, cache }) => {
    cache({
      browser: {
        maxAgeSeconds: ONE_DAY,
      },
      edge: {
        maxAgeSeconds: ONE_DAY,
        staleWhileRevalidateSeconds: FAR_FUTURE,
      },
    })
    serveStatic('_site/assets/:path*')
  })
  .match('/:path*', ({ serveStatic, cache }) => {
    cache({
      browser: false,
      edge: {
        maxAgeSeconds: ONE_DAY,
        staleWhileRevalidateSeconds: FAR_FUTURE,
      },
    })
    serveStatic('_site/:path*')
  })
