# Hugo add-on for Caddy
This is an add-on for Caddy which wants to deliver a good UI to edit the content of the website.
## Configuration
```
hugo {
styles file
flags flags...
}
```
+ **file** is the relative path to ```public``` folder of the admin UI styles. They will not replace the defaults, they will be added.
+ **flags** are the Hugo flags (those which can be set in the command line) and they must follow one of these syntaxes: ```-f=value``` and ```--flag=value```.
## Build it from source
If you want to try the Hugo add-on for Caddy (and improve it maybe), you'll have to install some tools.
+ [Go 1.4 or higher](https://golang.org/dl/)
+ [caddydev](https://github.com/caddyserver/caddydev)
+ [go-bindata](https://github.com/jteeuwen/go-bindata)
If you want to go deeper and make changes in front-end assets like JavaScript or CSS, you'll need some more tools.
+ [Ruby](https://www.ruby-lang.org/en/)
+ [SASS](http://sass-lang.com/install)
+ [Node.js and npm](https://nodejs.org)
+ [Grunt](http://gruntjs.com/)
### Run it
If you have already installed everything above to meet the requirements for what you want to do, let's start. Firstly, open the terminal and navigate to your clone of ```caddy-hugo```. Then execute:
```
go-bindata [-debug] -pkg assets -o assets/assets.go templates/ assets/css/ assets/js/ assets/fonts/
```
That command will create an ```assets.go``` file which contains all static files from those folders mentioned in the command. You may run with ```-debug``` option if you want, but it is only needed if you're going to make changes in front-end assets.
Now, open the folder with your Hugo website and create a [Caddyfile](https://caddyserver.com/docs/caddyfile) similar to this one:
```
localhost:8080
root public
basicauth /admin admin admin
errors {
404 404.html
}
hugo
```
After creating the file, navigate to that folder using the terminal and run the following command, replacing ```{CADDY-HUGO}``` with the location of your clone.
```
caddydev --source {CADDY-HUGO} hugo
```
Navigate to ```localhost:8080``` to see your blog running on Caddy and Hugo. Go to ```/admin``` to try the Admin UI. The default user name is ```admin```, so is the password. You may change in your Caddyfile.
Everything is working now. Whenever you make a change in the back-end source code, you'll have to run the command above again.
**For those who want to make changes in front-end**, make sure you have every needed tool installed and run ```npm install``` in the root of ```caddy-hugo``` clone. Then, run ```grunt watch```.
