About Hugo template
With Hugo, you can build an amazing static website, with thousands of pages, in a matter of minutes. Give your visitors the same amazing speed for content as well by using our Hugo optimized CMS.
The goal of this project is to show how easily you can create static sites using the content (text, images, links, etc.) stored on DatoCMS, and the benefits of using an optimized Hugo CMS. This project is configured to fetch data from a specific administrative area using the API DatoCMS provides.
This websites uses:
- Yarn as package manager;
- Webpack to compile and bundle assets (Sass/ES2015 JS);
- datocms-client to integrate the website with DatoCMS.
The dato.config.js file
To convert the content stored on DatoCMS into local Markdown files that can be digested by Hugo, the datocms-client plugin requires an explicit mapping file called dato.config.js. You can read more about the commands available in this file in the official documentation.
