Victor Hugo

A Hugo boilerplate for creating truly epic websites

This is a boilerplate for using Hugo as a static site generator and Gulp + Webpack as your asset pipeline.

It's setup to use post-css and babel for CSS and JavaScript.

This project is released under the MIT license. Please make sure you understand its implications and guarantees.

Usage

Be sure that you have the latest node, npm and Hugo installed. If you need to install hugo on OSX, run:

brew install hugo

If you don't use OSX or don't use homebrew, follow the instructions for installation here instead:

http://gohugo.io/overview/installing/

Next, clone this repository and run:

npm install
npm start

Then visit http://localhost:3000/ - BrowserSync will automatically reload CSS or refresh the page when stylesheets or content changes.

To build your static output to the /dist folder, use:

npm run build

Structure

|--site                // Everything in here will be built with hugo
|  |--content          // Pages and collections - ask if you need extra pages
|  |--data             // YAML data files with any data for use in examples
|  |--layouts          // This is where all templates go
|  |  |--partials      // This is where includes live
|  |  |--index.html    // The index page
|  |--static           // Files in here ends up in the public folder
|--src                 // Files that will pass through the asset pipeline
|  |--css              // CSS files in the root of this folder will end up in /css/...
|  |--js               // app.js will be compiled to /app.js with babel

Basic Concepts

You can read more about Hugo's template language in their documentation here:

https://gohugo.io/templates/overview/

The most useful page there is the one about the available functions:

https://gohugo.io/templates/functions/

For assets that are completely static and don't need to go through the asset pipeline, use the site/static folder. Images, font-files, etc, all go there.

Files in the static folder ends up in the web root. So a file called site/static/favicon.ico will end up being available as /favicon.ico and so on...

The src/js/app.js file is the entrypoint for webpack and will be built to /dist/app.js.

You can use ES6 and use both relative imports or import libraries from npm.

Any CSS file directly under the src/css/ folder will get compiled with PostCSS Next to /dist/css/{filename}.css. Import statements will be resolved as part of the build

Deploying to netlify

Now netlify will build and deploy your site whenever you push to git.

You can also click this button:

Deploy to Netlify

Picking the right version of Hugo

Victor-Hugo doesn't make any assumption on which version of Hugo you use, this boilerplate works with any version above v0.13. However, the version installed on your computer might not be the same version that Netlify uses to build your site. To ensure that those two versions match, open the netlify.toml file and change the HUGO_VERSION variable to match the version you use in your computer. If you don't know which version you're using in your computer, you can open a terminal and run hugo version, that will display the version in your computer.

Enjoy!!
