# CloudCannon Hugo

Creates [CloudCannon](https://cloudcannon.com/) build information for sites made with Hugo.

This tool runs after your Hugo build, reading your configuration to find pages, collections, and
data files to create a JSON file used to automatically integrate the site with CloudCannon. This
JSON file is written to `_cloudcannon/info.json` in your destination folder.

## Installation

**You don't have to install anything** when building on CloudCannon. This tool is automatically
installed before your site is built. This gives you the latest support, new features, and fixes
as they are released.

Although **not necessary**, you can install the tool locally to debug an integration issue.

Manual installation steps

```sh
$ npm install --global cloudcannon-hugo
```

This gives you access to the `cloudcannon-hugo` binary.

## Configuration

Configuration files should be in the root directory (or the same directory you run
`cloudcannon-hugo`). The first supported file found in this order is used:

- `cloudcannon.config.json`
- `cloudcannon.config.yaml`
- `cloudcannon.config.yml`
- `cloudcannon.config.js`
- `cloudcannon.config.cjs`

Alternatively, use a specific file with the `CLOUDCANNON_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable:

```sh
$ CLOUDCANNON_CONFIG_PATH=src/cloudcannon.config.js cloudcannon-hugo
```

Your global CloudCannon configuration is set in this file as well, as it's used as a base to
generate `_cloudcannon/info.json` (used to integrate your site with CloudCannon).

Example content for `cloudcannon.config.yml`:

```yaml
# Global CloudCannon configuration
_inputs:
title:
type: text
comment: The title of your page.
_select_data:
colors:
- Red
- Green
- Blue

# Base path to your site source files
source: src

# The subpath your built output files are mounted at
base_url: /documentation

# Populates collections for navigation and metadata in the editor
collections_config:
people:
# Base path for files in this collection, relative to source
path: content/people

# Whether this collection produces output files or not
output: true

# Collection-level configuration
name: Personnel
_enabled_editors:
- data
posts:
path: _posts
output: true
pages:
name: Main pages

# Generates the data for select and multiselect inputs matching these names
data_config:
# Populates data with authors from an data file with the matching name
authors: true
offices: true

paths:
# The default location for newly uploaded files, relative to source
uploads: assets/uploads

# The path to site data files, relative to source
data: _data

# The path to site layout files, relative to source
layouts: _layouts
```

See the [CloudCannon documentation](https://cloudcannon.com/documentation/) for more information
on the available features you can configure.

Configuration is set in `cloudcannon.config.*`, but the tool also automatically
reads and processes the following from Hugo if unset:

- `collections_config` from your folder structure inside `contentDir` in Hugo config
- `paths.layouts` from `layoutsDir` in Hugo config
- `paths.data` from `dataDir` in Hugo config
- `paths.static` from `staticDir` in Hugo config
- `base_url` from the `--baseURL` CLI option or `baseURL` in Hugo config
- `source` from `source` in Hugo config
