Configure Modules

Module Config: Top level

config.

module:
  noProxy: none
  private: '*.*'
  proxy: direct

[module]
  noProxy = "none"
  private = "*.*"
  proxy = "direct"

{
   "module": {
      "noProxy": "none",
      "private": "*.*",
      "proxy": "direct"
   }
}

proxy: Defines the proxy server to use to download remote modules. Default is direct, which means “git clone” and similar.
noProxy: Comma separated glob list matching paths that should not use the proxy configured above.
private: Comma separated glob list matching paths that should be treated as private.

Note that the above terms maps directly to their counterparts in Go Modules. Some of these setting may be natural to set as OS environment variables. To set the proxy server to use, as an example:

env HUGO_MODULE_PROXY=https://proxy.example.org hugo

Module Config: hugoVersion

If your module requires a particular version of Hugo to work, you can indicate that in the module section and the user will be warned if using a too old/new version.

config.

module:
  hugoVersion:
    extended: false
    max: ""
    min: ""

[module]
  [module.hugoVersion]
    extended = false
    max = ""
    min = ""

{
   "module": {
      "hugoVersion": {
         "extended": false,
         "max": "",
         "min": ""
      }
   }
}

Any of the above can be omitted.

min: The minimum Hugo version supported, e.g. 0.55.0
max: The maximum Hugo version supported, e.g. 0.55.0
extended: Whether the extended version of Hugo is required.

Module Config: imports

config.

module:
  imports:
  - disable: false
    ignoreConfig: false
    path: github.com/gohugoio/hugoTestModules1_linux/modh1_2_1v
  - path: my-shortcodes

[module]

  [[module.imports]]
    disable = false
    ignoreConfig = false
    path = "github.com/gohugoio/hugoTestModules1_linux/modh1_2_1v"

  [[module.imports]]
    path = "my-shortcodes"

{
   "module": {
      "imports": [
         {
            "disable": false,
            "ignoreConfig": false,
            "path": "github.com/gohugoio/hugoTestModules1_linux/modh1_2_1v"
         },
         {
            "path": "my-shortcodes"
         }
      ]
   }
}

path: Can be either a valid Go Module module path, e.g. github.com/gohugoio/myShortcodes, or the directory name for the module as stored in your themes folder.
ignoreConfig: If enabled, any module configuration file, e.g. config.toml, will not be loaded. Note that this will also stop the loading of any transitive module dependencies.
disable: Set to true to disable the module off while keeping any version info in the go.* files.

Module Config: mounts

config.

module:
  mounts:
  - source: content
    target: content
  - source: static
    target: static
  - source: layouts
    target: layouts
  - source: data
    target: data
  - source: assets
    target: assets
  - source: i18n
    target: i18n
  - source: archetypes
    target: archetypes

[module]

  [[module.mounts]]
    source = "content"
    target = "content"

  [[module.mounts]]
    source = "static"
    target = "static"

  [[module.mounts]]
    source = "layouts"
    target = "layouts"

  [[module.mounts]]
    source = "data"
    target = "data"

  [[module.mounts]]
    source = "assets"
    target = "assets"

  [[module.mounts]]
    source = "i18n"
    target = "i18n"

  [[module.mounts]]
    source = "archetypes"
    target = "archetypes"

{
   "module": {
      "mounts": [
         {
            "source": "content",
            "target": "content"
         },
         {
            "source": "static",
            "target": "static"
         },
         {
            "source": "layouts",
            "target": "layouts"
         },
         {
            "source": "data",
            "target": "data"
         },
         {
            "source": "assets",
            "target": "assets"
         },
         {
            "source": "i18n",
            "target": "i18n"
         },
         {
            "source": "archetypes",
            "target": "archetypes"
         }
      ]
   }
}

source: The source directory of the mount. For the main project, this can be either project-relative or absolute and even a symbolic link. For other modules it must be project-relative.
target: Where it should be mounted into Hugo’s virtual filesystem. It must start with one of Hugo’s component folders: static, content, layouts, data, assets, i18n, or archetypes. E.g. content/blog.
lang: The language code, e.g. “en”. Only relevant for content mounts, and static mounts when in multihost mode.
