Every Squeditor project runs entirely based on its local squeditor.config.js file. This is the single source of truth that tells the core framework engine what CSS/JS to bundle, what pages to crawl, and how to distribute the final website. Here is a full breakdown of every available configuration option.

​
Core Settings

Define the core identity of your project and link it to the framework engine. 
module.exports = {
  // Path referencing the core framework folder (usually '../squeditor')
  framework: '../squeditor',
  
  // The name of your project (used for logging and zip naming)
  name: 'Squeditor Showcase',
  
  // Your project's internal version
  version: '1.0.0',
  
  // The primary theme to load during local 'npm run dev' development
  activeTheme: 'showcase',

​
Component Selection

The components array is the most critical part of Squeditor’s architecture. It explicitly defines which UIKit3 modules should be compiled into your final uikit-components.css and uikit-components.js files. If a component is not in this list, its code will never load in the browser, keeping your site incredibly fast. 
  components: [
    'sticky',
    'grid',
    'nav',
    'modal',
    'accordion',
    'tabs',
    'offcanvas',
    'slider',
    'scrollspy',
    // add or remove exact UIkit3 module names here
  ],

​
GSAP Integration

If your project utilizes the GreenSock Animation Platform (GSAP), configure the plugins and initialization scripts here. 
  gsap: {
    // Exact GSAP plugins to register (ScrollTrigger, SplitText, etc.)
    plugins: ['ScrollTrigger', 'SplitText', 'Flip', 'Observer'],
    
    // Path to the core initialization script
    initScript: 'src/assets/js/gsap-init.js',
    
    // Path to advanced module loaders (like custom cursors)
    advancedScript: 'src/assets/js/gsap-advanced.js',
  },

​
Build Server & Snapshot Routing

Squeditor uses Vite for asset bundling and a PHP endpoint crawler for static HTML generation. 
  // Where compiled assets should be placed within the project
  output: {
    css: 'src/assets/css',
    js: 'src/assets/js',
  },

  // Local development PHP server port
  devServer: { port: 3001, root: 'src' },

  // The Static HTML Crawler configuration
  snapshot: {
    baseUrl: 'http://127.0.0.1:3001',
    outputDir: 'dist',
    
    // Automatically rewrite all <a href="page.php"> to <a href="page.html">
    rewriteExtension: true,

    // The explicit list of PHP routes the crawler must visit and convert to HTML
    pages: [
      '/', 
      '/about.php', 
      '/services.php', 
      '/style-guide.php'
    ],
  },

​
Multi-Theme Configuration

Use the themes object to generate multiple distinct websites (with different styling and page routing) from the same codebase simultaneously during the npm run build process. 
  themes: {
    'showcase': {
      label: 'Showcase Theme',
      bodyClass: 'theme-showcase',
      scss: 'src/assets/scss/themes/_showcase.scss',
      pages: ['/', '/about.php', '/services.php'],
      distSubfolder: '', // Outputs directly to /dist/
    },
    'agency': {
      label: 'Agency Theme',
      bodyClass: 'theme-agency',
      scss: 'src/assets/scss/themes/_agency.scss',
      pages: ['/gsap-demo.php'],
      distSubfolder: 'demo-agency', // Outputs to /dist/demo-agency/
    }
  },

​
Media Optimization

Squeditor includes an automated pipeline for compressing images and generating blurred placeholders natively during the build sequence. 
  media: {
    // Compresses large files into optimized web-ready formats
    optimize: {
      enabled: true,
      imageQuality: 80, // WebP/JPEG quality (0-100)
      videoQuality: 28, // CRF for MP4 (Lower is better, 23-28 is standard)
      include: ['**/*.{jpg,jpeg,png,webp,gif,mp4,webm}'],
      exclude: []
    },
    // Automatically creates tiny blurred background placeholders for lazy loading
    blur: {
      enabled: true,
      amount: 20, // Blur radius
      include: ['**/*.{jpg,jpeg,png,webp}', '**/*.{mp4,webm}'],
      exclude: ['**/logos/**', '**/icons/**', '**/placeholder.png']
    }
  },

​
Distribution

Configures how the final dist/ folder is archived into a .zip file for client handoff, and dictates which CLI tool (netlify or vercel) publishes the temporary preview URL. 
  dist: {
    // The name of the final deliverable zip file
    zipName: 'squeditor-showcase.zip',
    
    // 'netlify' or 'vercel'
    previewPlatform: 'vercel',
  },
};
