Hello Hugo!
Hugo is a static generator, and from my point of view it’s really fast. Especially if you compare it with Jekyll.
This is just a demo post with tags
& categories
.
Basic Syntax
Go lang templates are html files with the addition of variables and functions.
Go variables and functions are accessible within {{ }}
Accessing a predefined variable foo
:
{{ foo }}
Parameters are separated using spaces
Calling the add function with input of 1, 2:
{{ add 1 2 }}
Methods and fields are accessed via dot notation
Accessing the Page Parameter bar
{{ .Params.bar }}
Parentheses can be used to group items together
{{ if or (isset .Params "alt") (isset .Params "caption") }} Caption {{ end }}
Variables
Each go template has a struct (object) made available to it. In hugo each template is passed either a page or a node struct depending on which type of page you are rendering. More details are available on the variables page.
A variable is accessed by referencing the variable name.
<title>{{ .Title }}</title>
Variables can also be defined and referenced.
{{ $address := "123 Main St."}}
{{ $address }}
