My try on a Hugo boilerplate.
I used the Parima Hugo Theme as starting point. It comes with:
- TailwindCSS (2.2.17)
- PurgeCSS/PostCSS
Parima is nice and gives you a purged and minified CSS /public/ folder. The normal Tailwind CSS is 3.5Mb in size
I added:
- Tailwind JIT
- @tailwindcss/typography
Tailwind JIT gives you a small CSS in dev and saves loading time.
How to use
Prerequisite:
- hugo
- Node.js/npm
Install with:
git clone https://github.com/4044ever/hugo-boilerplate-tailwind-jit/
run npm install
then npm run start
Go to localhost:1313 to view what you do.
run npm run build to build the ready to host public folder.
git clone https://github.com/4044ever/hugo-boilerplate-tailwind-jit
npm install
npm run start
/* npm run build */
Note: if you want to use Visual Studio Code’s Live Server and you see only style free text - you need to set
baseURL = "localhost:1313", otherwise the browser can not find the linked CSS.
Last words:
I am not a coder, just an amateur that puts some stuff together. You probably find lots of errors here. But point is, it basically works.
