Hugo Module TND Socials

Requirements

Requirements:

• Go 1.14
• Hugo 0.61.0

Installation

If not already, init your project as Hugo Module:

$: hugo mod init {repo_url}

Configure your project's module to import this module:

# config.yaml
module:
  imports:
  - path: github.com/theNewDynamic/hugo-module-tnd-socials

Usage

GetSocials

Module provides one partial called GetSocials which returns every or some Social services set in the project through the Module's configuration.

Returned services are maps structured as the following:

• String (.Name)
• String (.Handle)
• String (.URL)
• SVG (String of safe HTML)

If the given partial receives a .Page key with a Page object as value among its context, each service will sport an extra key:

• String (.ShareURL)

Default "Follow Us" links

To simply print links pointing to the project's Social landing pages:

{{ range partialCached "tnd-socials/GetSocials" "GetSocials" }}
  <a href="{{ .URL }}" title="Follow {{ .Handle }} on {{ .Service }}">
    {{ .SVG }}
  <a>
{{ end }}

By default, the partial will return all the services set though the module's configuration in their original order. To limit or reorder services, the partial can take a slice as context:

{{ range partial "tnd-socials/GetSocials" (slice "facebook "twitter") }}
[...]
{{ end }}

"Share On.." links

The partial can also return a .ShareURL key for each services if it receives a .Page key among its context. The value is a share URL for the given services. (Ex: https://www.linkedin.com/sharing/share-offsite/?url=https://example.com/that-article)

Chosen services discussed above will be hold in a services key.

{{ range partial "tnd-socials/GetSocials" (dict "Page" $ "services" (slice "facebook" "twitter")) }}
  <a href="{{ .ShareURL }}" title="Share on {{ .Service }}">
    {{ .SVG }}
  <a>
{{ end }}

Services sporting a ShareURL are for now:

• Facebook
• Twitter
• LinkedIn
• Email

Icons

Icons are pulled from a default set but can easily be overwritten by adding svg files to your projects using the following naming convention:

assets/tnd-socials/{service|icon}.svg

Configure

The module can read Hugo's default Social settings but we recommand using the module's own .Params.tnd_socials reserved key for more control:

Services

The services key takes a slice of Maps with the following keys:

• service*: The name of the service
• handle*: The username or handle of the service's profile. Use an email address for the email service.
• url: If the profile URL does not follow the conventional https://www.{service}.com/{handle} it should be set here.
• icon: Icon file's basename (no extension). Available icons are here
