FUNCTIONS

hugo

The hugo function provides easy access to Hugo-related data.

Syntax

hugo

hugo returns an instance that contains the following functions:

hugo.Generator
<meta> tag for the version of Hugo that generated the site. hugo.Generator outputs a complete HTML tag; e.g. <meta name="generator" content="Hugo 0.63.2" />
hugo.Version
the current version of the Hugo binary you are using e.g. 0.63.2
hugo.GoVersion
returns the version of Go that the Hugo binary was built with.
hugo.Environment
the current running environment as defined through the --environment cli tag
hugo.CommitHash
the git commit hash of the current Hugo binary e.g. 0e8bed9ccffba0df554728b46c5bbf6d78ae5247
hugo.BuildDate
the compile date of the current Hugo binary formatted with RFC 3339 e.g. 2002-10-02T10:00:00-05:00
hugo.IsExtended
whether this is the extended Hugo binary.
hugo.IsProduction
returns true if hugo.Environment is set to the production environment

We highly recommend using hugo.Generator in your website’s <head>. hugo.Generator is included by default in all themes hosted on themes.gohugo.io. The generator tag allows the Hugo team to track the usage and popularity of Hugo.

hugo.Deps
See hugo.Deps

hugo.Deps

hugo.Deps returns a list of dependencies for a project (either Hugo Modules or local theme components).

Each dependency contains:

Path (string)
Returns the path to this module. This will either be the module path, e.g. “github.com/gohugoio/myshortcodes”, or the path below your /theme folder, e.g. “mytheme”.
Version (string)
The module version.
Vendor (bool)
Whether this dependency is vendored.
Time (time.Time)
Time version was created.
Owner
In the dependency tree, this is the first module that defines this module as a dependency.
Replace (*Dependency)
Replaced by this dependency.

An example table listing the dependencies:

 <h2>Dependencies</h2>
<table class="table table-dark">
  <thead>
    <tr>
      <th scope="col">#</th>
      <th scope="col">Owner</th>
      <th scope="col">Path</th>
      <th scope="col">Version</th>
      <th scope="col">Time</th>
      <th scope="col">Vendor</th>
    </tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    {{ range $index, $element := hugo.Deps }}
    <tr>
      <th scope="row">{{ add $index 1 }}</th>
      <td>{{ with $element.Owner }}{{.Path }}{{ end }}</td>
      <td>
        {{ $element.Path }}
        {{ with $element.Replace}}
        => {{ .Path }}
        {{ end }}
      </td>
      <td>{{ $element.Version }}</td>
      <td>{{ with $element.Time }}{{ . }}{{ end }}</td>
      <td>{{ $element.Vendor }}</td>
    </tr>
    {{ end }}
  </tbody>
