# Hugo Book Theme

[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/alex-shpak/hugo-book.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/alex-shpak/hugo-book)

### [Hugo](https://gohugo.io) documentation theme as simple as plain book

![Screenshot](https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book/blob/master/images/screenshot.png)

## Features

- Clean simple design
- Mobile friendly
- Customisable
- Designed to not interfere with other layouts
- Zero initial configuration

## Requirements

- Hugo 0.48 or higher
- Hugo extended version, read more [here](https://gohugo.io/news/0.43-relnotes/)

## Installation

Navigate to your hugo project root and run:

```
git submodule add https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book themes/book
```

Then run hugo (or set `theme: book` in configuration file)

```
hugo server --minify --theme book
```

### Creating site from scratch

Below is example how to create new site from scratch

```sh
hugo new site mydocs; cd mydocs
git init
git submodule add https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book themes/book
cp -R themes/book/exampleSite/content .
```

```sh
hugo server --minify --theme book
```

## Menu

### File tree menu (default)

By default theme will render pages from `content/docs` section as menu in a tree structure.  
You can set `title` and `weight` in front matter of pages to adjust order and titles in menu.

### Leaf bundle menu

You can also use leaf bundle and content of it's `index.md` as
menu.

Given you have this file structure

```
├── content
│   ├── docs
│   │   ├── page-one.md
│   │   └── page-two.md
│   └── posts
│       ├── post-one.md
│       └── post-two.md
```

Create file `content/docs/menu/index.md` with content

```md
+++
headless = true
+++

- [Book Example](/docs/)
  - [Page One](/docs/page-one)
  - [Page Two](/docs/page-two)
- [Blog](/posts)
```

And Enable it by settings `BookMenuBundle: /menu` in Site configuration

- [Example menu](https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book/blob/master/exampleSite/content/menu/index.md)
- [Example config file](https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book/blob/master/exampleSite/config.yml)
- [Leaf bundles](https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/)

## Blog

Simple blog supported for section `posts`

## Configuration

### Site Configuration

There are few configuration options you can add to your `config.yml|json|toml` file.  
See `yaml` example [here](https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book/blob/master/exampleSite/config.yml)

```toml
# (Optional) Set this to true if you use capital letters in file names
disablePathToLower = true

# (Optional) Set this to true to enable 'Last Modified by' date and git author
#  information on 'doc' type pages.
enableGitInfo = true

# (Warnings) Theme is intended for documentation use, there for it doesn't render taxonomy.
# You can hide related warning with config below
disableKinds = ["taxonomy", "taxonomyTerm"]

[params]
# (Optional, default true) Show or hide table of contents globally
# You can also specify this parameter per page in front matter
BookShowToC = true

# (Optional, default none) Set leaf bundle to render as side menu
# When not specified file structure and weights will be used
BookMenuBundle = /menu

# (Optional, default docs) Specify section of content to render as menu
# You can also set value to "*" to render all sections to menu
BookSection = docs

# (Optional) This value is duplicate of $link-color for making active link highlight in menu bundle mode
# BookMenuBundleActiveLinkColor = \#004ed0

# (Optional, default false) Include JS scripts in pages. Disabled by default.
# - Keep side menu on same scroll position during navigation
BookEnableJS = true

# Set source repository location.
# Used for 'Last Modified' and 'Edit this page' links.
BookRepo = https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book

# Enable "Edit this page" links for 'doc' page type.
# Disabled by default. Uncomment to enable. Requires 'BookRepo' param.
# Path must point to 'content' directory of repo.
BookEditPath = edit/master/exampleSite/content

# (Optional, default January 2, 2006) Configure the date format used on the pages
# - In git information
# - In blog posts
BookDateFormat = "Jan 2, 2006"
```

### Page Configuration

You can specify additional params per page in front matter

```md
+++
# Set type to 'docs' if you want to render page outside of configured section or if you render section other than 'docs'
type = docs

# Set page weight to re-arrange items in file-tree menu (if BookMenuBundle not set)
weight = 10

# (Optional) Set to mark page as flat section in file-tree menu (if BookMenuBundle not set)
bookFlatSection = true
