## Framework

### Hugo

Hugo is the **world’s fastest static website engine**. It’s written in Go (aka Golang).

- [Hugo Documentation](https://gohugo.io/documentation/)

- [Go template documentation](https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#hdr-Functions)

### Bootstrap

Get started with Bootstrap

- [Bootstrap 5.3](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/getting-started/introduction/)

- [Install Bootstrap in your Node.js powered apps with the npm package](https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/getting-started/download/#npm)

### Requirements

The tools used are cross-platform and should work on Windows, MacOS and Linux. You will need the following tools to be downloaded and installed:

- [Hugo static site builder](https://github.com/goHugoio/Hugo/releases) - IMPORTANT: make sure you pick the extended version, Hugo_extended_0.xx.x_…

- [Node & NPM](https://nodejs.org/) - We use this to maintain project dependencies

- [Git](https://git-scm.com/downloads) - This is optional, but highly recommended for version control and remote backups.

## Usage

### Test the theme locally on your computer

Clone this repo:

```
git clone https://github.com/filipecarneiro/hugo-bootstrap-theme.git
```

Test if the site is working:

```
hugo server -D --disableFastRender --source exampleSite
```

This launches Hugo development server and you can see the example site by opening http://localhost:1313/hugo-bootstrap-theme/.

You can also use Hugo as an installed NPM local package. In this case, you don't need to install Hugo globally:

```
npm install
npm run start
```

This will install Hugo in a `bin` subfolder and then run it, using the NPM package `exec-bin`.

### Install on an existing Hugo site

#### Step 1: Install via NPM

```
npm install @filipecarneiro/hugo-bootstrap-theme
```

Hugo bootstrap theme package will also add bootstrap and feather-icons to node modules.

#### Step 2: Add to Config

Then add the theme `hugo-bootstrap-theme` to your sites [configuration file](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/#configuration-file) `config.toml`, `config.yaml` or `config.json`:

```toml
theme = "hugo-bootstrap-theme"
themesdir = "node_modules/@filipecarneiro"
```

The new themes directory (themesdir) is needed to get the new theme from the `node_modules` folder.

#### Step 3: Test your site

```
hugo server -D --disableFastRender
```

#### Step 4: Check your parameters

Check your `copyright` variable, your menus (the theme supports `main`, `footer` and `social` menus), etc.

### Start from Scratch

#### Step 1: Create a new Hugo site

Follow [Hugo Quick Start](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/quick-start/) to create a new site, add a sample page and change basic settings.

Since you've created an Git repository, let's specify some Hugo files and folders to ignore.

Create a `.gitignore` file on the root of your project with this content:

```txt
public
node_modules
resources
.hugo_build.lock
```

Optionally, add a remote repository and push your code.

#### Step 2: Install and configure Hugo Bootstrap Theme

Update npm to the latest version:

```
npm install -g npm
```

If you don't have npm, [download and install Node.js and npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm).

Then, create an npm package for your site:

```
npm init -y
```

If wanted, you can customize your package information, editing the generated `package.json` file.

Now, install Hugo Bootstrap Theme:

```
npm install @filipecarneiro/hugo-bootstrap-theme --save-dev
```

Then add the theme `hugo-bootstrap-theme` to your site configuration file `config.toml`:

```toml
theme = 'hugo-bootstrap-theme'
themesdir = 'node_modules/@filipecarneiro'
```

Change the existing `theme` value from `ananke` to `hugo-bootstrap-theme` and add a new line for `themesdir`, like above.

Add some [configuration](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/), like `copyright`, `description` and your menus (the theme supports `main`, `footer` and `social` menus).
