Hugo + Gomplate = Good Stuff

Head over to the gomplate docs or Hugo docs for details about those projects.

Please treat this as a Proof of Concept rather than a proper Tutorial. Probably not for absolute beginners.

What this is

A project demonstrating what happens when you combine gomplate and hugo.

I am using gomplate to populate the /content/ directory from a datasource. Hugo does the rest.

Install hugo and gomplate. Refer to their respective documentation sites for details how.

Navigate to hugo-demo and run gomplate

This will populate hugo-demo/content/posts/ with posts from https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts.

Run hugo server to see it as a Hugo website in action.

Navigate to gomplate-demo and try the different config files:

gomplate --config api.yaml

This will populate outputs/api with posts from https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts.

Sample output can be found at sample-outputs/api/

gomplate --config localjson.yaml

This will populate outputs/localjson with .md posts from sources/datasource.json.

Sample output can be found at sample-outputs/localjson/

gomplate --config localcsv.yaml

This will populate outputs/localcsv with .md posts from sources/datasource.csv.

Sample output can be found at sample-outputs/localcsv/

Not a Hugo dev. Not a gomplate dev. Not really a Go dev at all.

Big thanks to the people behind Hugo and gomplate for developing these awesome products.
