# Victor Hugo
**A [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) 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](LICENSE). Please make sure you understand its implications and guarantees.
## Usage
Be sure that you have the latest node, npm and [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) installed. If you need to install hugo on OSX, run:
```bash
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:
```bash
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 `/public` folder, use:
```bash
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 /js/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](http://cssnext.io/)
to `/dist/css/{filename}.css`. Import statements will be resolved as part of the build
## Deploying to netlify
- Push your clone to your own GitHub repository.
- [Create a new site on Netlify](https://app.netlify.com/start) and link the repository.
Now netlify will build and deploy your site whenever you push to git.
