🤦🏻‍♂️WTFHugo

How many times have you sat there staring at some Hugo template code, in Hugo's "interesting" template language, and yelled into the void, "WTF, Hugo?" Contexts and dots got you down? No idea why some Page variable isn't what you expect?

What if you could click a button on your site and see all those Page and Site variables and Params?

Screenshot

This is based on the supremely useful kaushalmodi/hugo-debugprint. But, it leaves your site design alone and just floats a little "WTF" button in the lower-right of your browser. Click it, and up pops all those variables, as they were when the current page was built. Click the close button to dismiss the pop-up.

🤓 How to use it

[!IMPORTANT] WTFHugo has been updated for changes in Hugo 0.123 and will no longer work with earlier versions.

It's a theme component. Add this repo as a submodule in your themes directory:

git submodule add https://github.com/i40west/wtfhugo themes/wtfhugo

Or just clone the repo into your themes directory:

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/i40west/wtfhugo themes/wtfhugo

Then, in your site config (hugo.toml or config.toml), add it as a theme component along with your site's theme (if you're not using a theme, just add wtfhugo as the theme):

theme = [ "wtfhugo", "your-theme" ]

Call wtfhugo in your site's <head>:

  {{- partial "wtfhugo.html" . }}

And that's it. You can call it conditionally, of course:

{{- if and (.Param "WTFHugo") hugo.IsServer -}}
  {{- partial "wtfhugo.html" . }}
{{- end -}}

😡 Note

I have been unable to find a way to make FileInfo work consistently anymore, so it's disabled for now. Hugo's template language is a den of misery, and I'm about done trying to make it not suck.
