Hexo + Netlify CMS Starter

Intro

This is an example site built with Hexo and Netlify CMS, based on Viosey's Hexo material theme.

Deploy to Netlify

Use the following deploy button to get your own copy of the repository up and running:

Local Development

$ git clone --recursive https://github.com/[GITHUB_USERNAME]/[REPO_NAME].git
$ cd [REPO_NAME]
$ npm install
$ hexo server

Notice that the --recursive flag is NECESSARY here, as the material theme under theme folder is introduced as a submodule. Learn more How to "git clone" including submodules?.

Netlify CMS editor workflow

The Netlify CMS admin panel is already set up in the repo. You can access it via yourwebsite.com/admin, e.g. localhost:4000/admin Please refer to Netlify CMS docs for more info.

Redirects

Netlify supports a wide range of Redirect & Rewrite Rules. Our example site is featuring the Language-based redirecs, which comes in handy for any sites that support multiple languages.

For example, the folder structure under our site's root source folder is set up like this:

| root/
    | source/
        |zh-cn/
            |about/
                |index.md
            |index.md
        |en/
            |about/
                |index.md

And in my _redirects file, I specified the following rule to help redirect the URL based on the default browser language: /* /zh-cn/:splat 302 Language=zh

In this specific example, it means if your browser language is set to be zh-cn by default, you'll be taken to https://yourwebsite.com/zh-cn/ automatically.

Same applies to all other languages.

The key is to make sure your folder structure matches the path in your _redirects file.
