hugo-extended

via NPM

Plug-and-play binary wrapper for Hugo Extended, the awesomest static-site generator.

Installation

npm install hugo-extended --save-dev
# or...
yarn add hugo-extended --dev

hugo-extended defaults to the extended version of Hugo on supported platforms, and automatically falls back to vanilla Hugo if unsupported (mainly on 32-bit systems).

This package's version numbers align with Hugo's — hugo-extended@0.64.1 installs Hugo v0.64.1, for example.

Usage

The following examples simply refer to downloading and executing Hugo as a Node dependency. See the official Hugo docs for guidance on actual Hugo usage.

via CLI / package.json:

If you'll be using the SCSS features of Hugo Extended, it's probably smart to install postcss, postcss-cli, and autoprefixer as devDependencies too, since they can be called via built-in Hugo pipes.

The build:preview script below is designed for Netlify deploy previews, where $DEPLOY_PRIME_URL is substituted for the base URL (usually ending in netlify.app) of each commit or pull request.

  "scripts": {
    "build": "hugo",
    "build:preview": "hugo --baseURL \"${DEPLOY_PRIME_URL:-/}\" --buildDrafts --buildFuture",
    "start": "hugo server"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "autoprefixer": "^10.2.5",
    "hugo-extended": "^0.83.1",
    "postcss": "^8.2.9",

  }
  // ...
}
