Hugo Framework - Internal Templates

Building websites with Hugo Framework made me explore more about this very useful tool. An important necessary functionality was to add the properties of The Open Graph Protocol to a project, the first idea was to edit the HTML files of the theme and add the corresponding tags, but after consulting the official documentation we found the most appropriate solution in this section.

There are different internal templates, each template has the examples for the config file in the available formats yaml, toml and json.

Available Templates

These are the internal templates that you can use in your projects:

  • disqus โžœ _internal/disqus.html
  • google analytics โžœ _internal/google_analytics.html
  • google analytics async โžœ _internal/google_analytics_async.html
  • open graph โžœ _internal/opengraph.html
  • pagination โžœ _internal/pagination.html
  • schema โžœ _internal/schema.html
  • twitter cards โžœ _internal/twitter_cards.html

Example of use with Open Graph

For this example we have the file config.yaml with the data:

1params:
2  description: Text of description
3  images:
4  - site-feature-image.jpg
5  title: Title post

To add the template we can edit the theme, in the example the theme has the path theme/name_theme/layouts/index.html.

1<head>
2...
3{{ template "_internal/opengraph.html" . }}
4...
5</head>

The result is similar to this:
