The markata.plugins.copy_assets plugin copies static assets (images, CSS, JavaScript, etc.) from your assets directory to the output directory during the build process.

Installation

This plugin is built-in and enabled by default through the 'default' plugin. If you want to be explicit, you can add it to your list of plugins:

        
hooks = [
    "markata.plugins.copy_assets",
]

Uninstallation

Since this plugin is included in the default plugin set, to disable it you must explicitly add it to the disabled_hooks list if you are using the 'default' plugin:

        
disabled_hooks = [
    "markata.plugins.copy_assets",
]

Configuration

Configure asset directories in your markata.toml:

        
[markata]
# Directory containing your static assets
assets_dir = "assets"

# Directory where assets will be copied
output_dir = "markout"

Functionality

Asset Copying

The plugin:

1. Checks if the configured assets directory exists
2. Recursively copies all files and directories from assets_dir to output_dir
3. Preserves directory structure
4. Updates existing files if they've changed
5. Maintains any existing files in the output directory

Usage Example

Place static assets in your assets directory:

        
assets/
  ├── css/
  │   └── style.css
  ├── js/
  │   └── main.js
  └── images/
      └── logo.png

These will be copied to:

        
markout/
  ├── css/
  │   └── style.css
  ├── js/
  │   └── main.js
  └── images/
      └── logo.png
