Is there a way I can get the html of a project?

catdeal3r · 2025-11-13T06:18:02.409+00:00

I have been using nordcraft for a little while now, and I like it. Except that I can't seem to figure out how I can 'export' a project to some html files and css. One of the selling points is that its plain html and css. But its restricted to the platform, so whats the point?How can I get my project in plain html + css + js (if any).

Or do I need to self-host

Also using a web component doesnt work that well

What would you need the html + css + js for? You can download a complete export of your project (for each branch) from the project detail page. That will give you the complete json structure for your project that we use to render html + css server side and to execute js client side.
If you then want to self host your project, there's a short guide on our GitHub repo [here](https://github.com/nordcraftengine/nordcraft/tree/main/packages/backend). We plan to add more documentation on how to self host.

Sorry, I have not made myself clear. Here is want I want and why I want it:
1. I want the raw html + css + js for a nordcraft project.
2. I want it because I don't want to selfhost, as I'm only planning to use nordcraft for one certain website I'm designing, and selfhosting it would be a bit overkill.
3. I want to put the raw html + css + js into something like a static site hoster (such as Github pages) to host it for this project.

Side note:
- I'm fine with using nordcraft made components inside of a bare html page, but I've found that packages such as mousetrap aren't supported/included. Is this a bug or a limitation?

I understand that if nordcraft is relatively complex behind the scenes, it may not be possible to get away with a raw html + css + js export of sorts
Therefore I am still very much open to using components inside of a basic html page, as long as extra packages will work

Any reason why you don't want to host your site with Nordcraft?
Exporting html/css/js isn't very easy for a Nordcraft app (also not for a lot of other frameworks/apps). You could just use an exported web component though. If the hmouse trap package doesn't work in your exported web component, please open an issue so we can investigate 👍

Self hosting would be the best option yeah, but it seems overkill as I explained before.

ok after doing some investigation, everything is working fine, except for that mousetrap is detecting my cursor moving
or else something is blocking it
before it didnt seem to work at all but it was a problem on my end

The best option would be to just selfhost Nordcraft with docker or on cloudflare.

If you just want the HTML, CSS an JS you can download if for each page and run your own server, but that will of cause mean that you cant use any of the server features.

Good point. It might not be as much of a trainwreck for me to do the second option as it would be for some people as my site is completely static
its just a nice looking landing page for a personal project

Is there a way I can get the html of a project?
