The build
configuration section contains global build-related configuration options.
build: null
{
"build": null
}
buildStats #
See Configure buildStats.
cachebusters #
noJSConfigInAssets #
(bool
) If true
, turns off writing a jsconfig.json
into your assets
directory with mapping of imports from running
js.Build. This file is intended to help with intellisense/navigation inside code editors such as
VS Code. Note that if you do not use js.Build
, no file will be written.
useResourceCacheWhen #
(string
) When to use the resource file cache, one of never
, fallback
, or always
. Applicable when transpiling Sass to CSS. Default is fallback
.
Configure cache busters #
The build.cachebusters
configuration option was added to support development using Tailwind 3.x’s JIT compiler where a build
configuration may look like this:
build:
buildStats:
enable: true
cachebusters:
- source: assets/watching/hugo_stats\.json
target: styles\.css
- source: (postcss|tailwind)\.config\.js
target: css
- source: assets/.*\.(js|ts|jsx|tsx)
target: js
- source: assets/.*\.(.*)$
target: $1
[build]
[build.buildStats]
enable = true
[[build.cachebusters]]
source = 'assets/watching/hugo_stats\.json'
target = 'styles\.css'
[[build.cachebusters]]
source = '(postcss|tailwind)\.config\.js'
target = 'css'
[[build.cachebusters]]
source = 'assets/.*\.(js|ts|jsx|tsx)'
target = 'js'
[[build.cachebusters]]
source = 'assets/.*\.(.*)$'
target = '$1'
{
"build": {
"buildStats": {
"enable": true
},
"cachebusters": [
{
"source": "assets/watching/hugo_stats\\.json",
"target": "styles\\.css"
},
{
"source": "(postcss|tailwind)\\.config\\.js",
"target": "css"
},
{
"source": "assets/.*\\.(js|ts|jsx|tsx)",
"target": "js"
},
{
"source": "assets/.*\\.(.*)$",
"target": "$1"
}
]
}
}
When buildStats
is enabled, Hugo writes a hugo_stats.json
file on each build with HTML classes etc. that’s used in the rendered output. Changes to this file will trigger a rebuild of the styles.css
file. You also need to add hugo_stats.json
to Hugo’s server watcher. See
Hugo Starter Tailwind Basic for a running example.
- source
- A regexp matching file(s) relative to one of the virtual component directories in Hugo, typically
assets/...
. - target
- A regexp matching the keys in the resource cache that should be expired when
source
changes. You can use the matching regexp groups fromsource
in the expression, e.g.$1
.
Configure build stats #
build:
buildStats: null
[build]
{
"build": {
"buildStats": null
}
}
If enable
is set to true
, creates a hugo_stats.json
file in the root of your project. This file contains arrays of the class
attributes, id
attributes, and tags of every HTML element within your published site. Use this file as data source when [removing unused CSS] from your site. This process is also known as pruning, purging, or tree shaking.
Exclude class
attributes, id
attributes, or tags from hugo_stats.json
with the disableClasses
, disableIDs
, and disableTags
keys.
Due to the nature of partial server builds, new HTML entities are added while the server is running, but old values will not be removed until you restart the server or run a regular hugo
build.
