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.

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@v3
      - uses: logseq/[email protected]
      - 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.

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:

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

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

Required: Specifies the version of Logseq to build the frontend. This can be a git tag (version) or a specific git SHA. Defaults to 0.9.2.

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

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

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".

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

$ git clone https://github.com/logseq/publish-spa
$ cd publish-spa && yarn install
$ yarn global add $PWD

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 0.9.2
# 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 🎉

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

• https://github.com/pengx17/logseq-publish - Thanks to @pengx17 for his great work with this. ❤️ This is currently the most popular action for publishing Logseq graphs. If you're happy using it, feel free to continue using it. publish-spa has more flexibility with versions of Logseq that can be used and may acquire more functionality than it since it hooks into the publishing process at a lower level.
