Jigsaw is based on Laravel. This means that it's a regular PHP-based application, so Kinsta automatically installs dependencies defined in your composer.json file during the deployment process.
Warning Your first deploy will fail in most cases because it won't have all the required Buildbacks. Remember to set them up after the first deployment.
In most cases you will want the application to also build the CSS/JS files; therefore, you need to add two Buildpacks:
- PHP
- Node JS
When deploying an application Kinsta automatically creates a web process with npm start. It can be later altered in the Processes tab in the UI.
Jigsaw is a static site framework that uses Blade templates to create your page layouts and Markdown to build your content within the templates so you can produce simple static sites without complex coding knowledge. More information is available on the Jigsaw website.
