# Configuring the build

## Setting the build directory

The build directory is the folder in which all the static content gets dumped.

There are several way to tell Stenope where to dump the static files:

### In global configuration

```yaml
# config/packages/stenope.yaml
stenope:
    build_dir: '%kernel.project_dir%/build'
```

### From command line argument

```shell
bin/console stenope:build ./path/to/the/build
```

## Controlling which content gets in the build

This package defines route options to control some of its features.

### Ignoring a route

You may want to exclude some routes from the static generated version of your site.

In order to ignore such routes during the build, set the `stenope.ignore` option to `true`:

```php
#[Route('foo', name: 'foo', options: [
    'stenope' => [
        'ignore' => true,
    ],
])]
public function fooAction() { /* ... */ }
```

### Excluding a route from the sitemap

If you need to exclude some routes from the generated sitemap, but still keep them in the build, set the `stenope.sitemap` route option to `false`:

```php
#[Route('foo', name: 'foo', options: [
    'stenope' => [
        'sitemap' => false,
    ],
])]
public function fooAction() { /* ... */ }
```
