# Hugo example website
This repository contains a Hugo website integrated with a DatoCMS site. The site is deployed on Netlify, and can be seen at this URL: https://datocms-hugo-example.netlify.com/
Content stored in a DatoCMS site gets translated into local Hugo files using a NodeJs module called `datocms-client` you need to add to your Hugo project. The translation rules are defined in file placed in your project root folder called [dato.config.js](https://github.com/datocms/hugo-example/blob/master/dato.config.js).
To read more about the `datocms-client` package, please refer to [its documentation](https://www.datocms.com/docs/hugo).
## Usage
First, setup the DatoCMS project and schema with this button:
[](https://dashboard.datocms.com/deploy?repo=datocms/hugo-example)
Then install the dependencies of this project:
```
npm install
```
Add an `.env` file containing the read-only API token of your DatoCMS site:
```
echo 'DATO_API_TOKEN=abc123' >> .env
```
Then, to run this website in development mode (with live-reload):
```
npm start
```
To build the final, production ready static website:
```
npm run build
```
The final result will be saved in the `public` directory.
