Detailed explanation of using thinkphp's own method to generate static html files

thinkphp itself comes with an effective method of generating static pages (this method is explained in the tp2.0 manual, but not in the 3.0 manual, but the 3.0 method still exists.)

$this-> ;buildHtml('static file', 'static path', 'template file');

Let me briefly explain the parameters. Some friends asked me about this parameter and how to use it.

Parameter 1: Static file refers to the generated static file name. The complete file saving path is: static path/static file. For example, the static file is set to a/index. Then the saved path is the project path/Html/a/index.html (the default static path is in the Html folder of the project path, and you can create it yourself). Parameter two: Static path, the default path has been explained above. In 3.0, parameters can be added to the entry file to change the static path.
define('HTML_PATH', './'); (define the static path as the website root directory)

Parameter three: template file. I feel that the official description is incorrect. To be precise, it should be the target module , which is the module that needs to generate static files. Format: module name: operation. For example, if you want to generate the a method under Index as a static file, that is Index:a. If empty, the static file of the current operation will be generated by default.
Example:

   class IndexAction extends Action {
      public function index(){
      $this->buildHtml("index",'',"");
      $this -> display();
      }
    }

In fact

$this->buildHtml("index",'',"")；

$this->buildHtml("index",'',"Index:index")；

$this->buildHtml("index",'',"index");

These three formats are equivalent

You can add statements under the current module, then as long as the module is run, a "module.html" file in the specified directory will be generated, usually The method is to write a method after the site is built, and then let it be executed to generate static files for the entire site at once. Note: If the site is edited or adjusted, the cache must be cleared once, that is, the Runtime folder under the project must be cleared.
