Module Config: Top level

{{< code-toggle file="config">}} [module] noVendor = "" proxy = "direct" noProxy = "none" private = "." {{< /code-toggle >}}

noVendor {{< new-in "0.75.0" >}}

A optional Glob pattern matching module paths to skip when vendoring, e.g. "github.com/**"

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.

{{< code-toggle file="config">}} [module] [module.hugoVersion] min = "" max = "" extended = false

{{< /code-toggle >}}

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

{{< code-toggle file="config">}} [module] module.imports path = "github.com/gohugoio/hugoTestModules1_linux/modh1_2_1v" ignoreConfig = false disable = false module.imports path = "my-shortcodes" {{< /code-toggle >}}

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 while keeping any version info in the go.* files.

Module Config: mounts

{{% note %}} When the mounts config was introduced in Hugo 0.56.0, we were careful to preserve the existing staticDir and similar configuration to make sure all existing sites just continued to work. But you should not have both: if you add a mounts section you should remove the old staticDir etc. settings. {{% /note %}}

{{% warning %}} When you add a mount, the default mount for the concerned target root is ignored: be sure to explicitly add it. {{% /warning %}}

Default mounts {{< code-toggle file="config">}} [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" {{< /code-toggle >}}

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.
