Configure Modules

Module Config: Top level

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 New in v0.75.0

A optional Glob pattern matching module paths to skip when vendoring, e.g. “github.com/**”

vendorClosest New in v0.81.0

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 New in v0.77.0

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

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.

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

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 New in v0.80.0

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 New in v0.84.2

Do not mount any folder in this import.

noVendor

Never vendor this import (only allowed in main project).

Module Config: mounts

Default mounts

module:
  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

[module]
[[module.mounts]]
  source = 'content'
  target = 'content'
[[module.mounts]]
  source = 'static'
  target = 'static'
[[module.mounts]]
  source = 'layouts'
  target = 'layouts'
[[module.mounts]]
  source = 'data'
  target = 'data'
[[module.mounts]]
  source = 'assets'
  target = 'assets'
[[module.mounts]]
  source = 'i18n'
  target = 'i18n'
[[module.mounts]]
  source = 'archetypes'
  target = 'archetypes'

{
   "module": {
      "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.
