plugin-static-html

The static HTML generator will essentially use the rendering engine and the http transport to save all the rendered HTML for all the given routes, to the file system, as static HTML pages.

Note that this plugin works by performing a GET request to the alias of all registered actions and saving the result HTML into the static folder, using the given alias as the file path. This entire documentation is made with this plugin, so you can check it out.
