HUGO MODULES

Configure Modules

This page describes the configuration options for a module.

Module Config: Top level

config.
     
module:
  noProxy: none
  noVendor: ""
  private: '*.*'
  proxy: direct
  replacements: ""
[module]
  noProxy = 'none'
  noVendor = ''
  private = '*.*'
  proxy = 'direct'
  replacements = ''

{
   "module": {
      "noProxy": "none",
      "noVendor": "",
      "private": "*.*",
      "proxy": "direct",
      "replacements": ""
   }
}
noVendor
A optional Glob pattern matching module paths to skip when vendoring, e.g. “github.com/**”
vendorClosest
When enabled, we will pick the vendored module closest to the module using it. The default behaviour is to pick the first. Note that there can still be only one dependency of a given module path, so once it is in use it cannot be redefined.
proxy
Defines the proxy server to use to download remote modules. Default is direct, which means “git clone” and similar.
noProxy
Comma separated glob list matching paths that should not use the proxy configured above.
private
Comma separated glob list matching paths that should be treated as private.
replacements
A comma separated (or a slice) list of module path to directory replacement mapping, e.g. "github.com/bep/myprettytheme -> ../..,github.com/bep/shortcodes -> /some/path. This is mostly useful for temporary locally development of a module, and then it makes sense to set it as an OS environment variable, e.g: env HUGO_MODULE_REPLACEMENTS="github.com/bep/myprettytheme -> ../..". Any relative path is relate to themesDir, and absolute paths are allowed.

Note that the above terms maps directly to their counterparts in Go Modules. Some of these setting may be natural to set as OS environment variables. To set the proxy server to use, as an example:

env HUGO_MODULE_PROXY=https://proxy.example.org hugo

Most of the commands for Hugo Modules requires a newer version of Go installed (see https://golang.org/dl/) and the relevant VCS client (e.g. Git, see https://git-scm.com/downloads/ ). If you have an “older” site running on Netlify, you may have to set GO_VERSION to 1.12 in your Environment settings.

  • https://github.com/golang/go/wiki/Modules
  • https://blog.golang.org/using-go-modules

Module Config: hugoVersion

If your module requires a particular version of Hugo to work, you can indicate that in the module section and the user will be warned if using a too old/new version.

config.
     
module:
  hugoVersion:
    extended: false
    max: ""
    min: ""
[module]
  [module.hugoVersion]
    extended = false
    max = ''
    min = ''


{
   "module": {
      "hugoVersion": {
         "extended": false,
         "max": "",
         "min": ""
      }
   }
}

Any of the above can be omitted.

min
The minimum Hugo version supported, e.g. 0.55.0
max
The maximum Hugo version supported, e.g. 0.55.0
extended
Whether the extended version of Hugo is required.

Module Config: imports

config.
     
module:
  imports:
  - disable: false
    ignoreConfig: false
    ignoreImports: false
    path: github.com/gohugoio/hugoTestModules1_linux/modh1_2_1v
  - path: my-shortcodes
[module]
[[module.imports]]
  disable = false
  ignoreConfig = false
  ignoreImports = false
  path = 'github.com/gohugoio/hugoTestModules1_linux/modh1_2_1v'
[[module.imports]]
  path = 'my-shortcodes'


{
   "module": {
      "imports": [
         {
            "disable": false,
            "ignoreConfig": false,
            "ignoreImports": false,
            "path": "github.com/gohugoio/hugoTestModules1_linux/modh1_2_1v"
         },
         {
            "path": "my-shortcodes"
         }
      ]
   }
}
path
Can be either a valid Go Module module path, e.g. github.com/gohugoio/myShortcodes, or the directory name for the module as stored in your themes folder.
ignoreConfig
If enabled, any module configuration file, e.g. config.toml, will not be loaded. Note that this will also stop the loading of any transitive module dependencies.
ignoreImports
If enabled, module imports will not be followed.
disable
Set to true to disable the module while keeping any version info in the go.* files.
noMounts
Do not mount any folder in this import.
noVendor
Never vendor this import (only allowed in main project).

Most of the commands for Hugo Modules requires a newer version of Go installed (see https://golang.org/dl/) and the relevant VCS client (e.g. Git, see https://git-scm.com/downloads/ ). If you have an “older” site running on Netlify, you may have to set GO_VERSION to 1.12 in your Environment settings.

Module Config: mounts

When the mounts config was introduced in Hugo 0.56.0, we were careful to preserve the existing staticDir and similar configuration to make sure all existing sites just continued to work. But you should not have both: if you add a mounts section you should remove the old staticDir etc. settings.

When you add a mount, the default mount for the concerned target root is ignored: be sure to explicitly add it.

Default mounts

         {
            "source": "content",
            "target": "content"
         },
         {
            "source": "static",
            "target": "static"
         },
         {
            "source": "layouts",
            "target": "layouts"
         },
         {
            "source": "data",
            "target": "data"
         },
         {
            "source": "assets",
            "target": "assets"
         },
         {
            "source": "i18n",
            "target": "i18n"
         },
         {
            "source": "archetypes",
            "target": "archetypes"
         }
      ]
   }
}

source
The source directory of the mount. For the main project, this can be either project-relative or absolute and even a symbolic link. For other modules it must be project-relative.
target
Where it should be mounted into Hugo’s virtual filesystem. It must start with one of Hugo’s component folders: static, content, layouts, data, assets, i18n, or archetypes. E.g. content/blog.
lang
The language code, e.g. “en”. Only relevant for content mounts, and static mounts when in multihost mode.
