# Hugo

> Hugo is one of the most popular open-source static site generators. With its amazing speed and flexibility, Hugo makes building websites fun again.
PurgeCSS can be used with [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/) via Hugo Pipes asset processing.

## Tooling

1. Install [Hugo](https://gohugo.io/getting-started/installing/)
1. Install [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download/)

## Write Stats

In your `config.toml` file, add this:

```toml
[build]
writeStats = true
```

Or, If using a `config.yaml` file, add this:

```yaml
build:
writeStats: true
```

This tells Hugo to write a `hugo_stats.json` file to the project root as part of the build. It includes all tags, classes, and ids from your `*.html` templates.

## Node Packages

Run this to install the necessary packages:

```
npm install postcss postcss-cli @fullhuman/postcss-purgecss
```

If the `package.json` file at the project root doesn't exist yet, this will create it.

If it's not already there, add `node_modules/` to your `.gitignore` file.

## PostCSS Config File

Create a `postcss.config.js` file at the project root with these contents:

```js
const purgecss = require('@fullhuman/postcss-purgecss')({
content: ['./hugo_stats.json'],
defaultExtractor: content => {
const els = JSON.parse(content).htmlElements;
return [
...(els.tags || []),
...(els.classes || []),
...(els.ids || []),
];
},
safelist: []
});

module.exports = {
plugins: [
...(process.env.HUGO_ENVIRONMENT === 'production' ? [purgecss] : [])
]
};
```

See the [PurgeCSS configuration docs](https://purgecss.com/configuration.html) for details on each option.

**Note:** `safelist` is an empty array (for now). Remember, only elements from your HTML templates are extracted. So, if your JS adds elements, you'll need to safelist them.

## HTML Template

In the HTML Template for your `<head>`, add this:

```html
{{ $css := resources.Get "css/style.css" | resources.PostCSS }}

{{ if hugo.IsProduction }}
{{ $css = $css | minify | fingerprint | resources.PostProcess }}
{{ end }}

<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="{{ $css.RelPermalink }}"
integrity="{{ $css.Data.Integrity }}"
>
```

This assumes:

- Your CSS file is at `assets/css/style.css`
- You want to minify and fingerprint the production version of this file

If these assumptions aren't true for you, modify the code accordingly.

## Use it

Cool, now we can use it.

Serve your site in development mode, which is the default:

```
hugo serve
```

Open your browser DevTools, go to the Network tab, then note the size of the CSS file.

Now, `Control` + `C` to stop it, then serve your site in production mode:

```
hugo serve --environment production
```

Notice the CSS file now has a _much smaller_ size.

## Environment

If you don't want to pass the `--environment production` option, you can set this env var:

```
HUGO_ENVIRONMENT=production
```
