A utility to produce a JSON representation of the key front matter and contents of Hugo documents. It's main intent is to produce JSON to be used by [Lunr](https://lunrjs.com/) (and [Lunr-like](http://elasticlunr.com/) packages) to support search on a static Hugo site. It's designed to be a fast and modern alternative to the now unsupported [hugo_lunr Node tool](https://www.npmjs.com/package/hugo-lunr).
Pull requests are welcome. A list of goals and work to be done is available in `ToDo.txt`.
It currently supports `.md` files and both YAML and TOML front matter.
## Using
`hugo_to_json HUGO_CONTENT_DIRECTORY -o OUTPUT_LOCATION`
Example usage is shown below.
`hugo_to_json example/blog/content -o example/blog/static/index.json`
Defaults to `./content` for the content directory and stdout for the index output.
## Fetching the Latest Version
If you want to use the latest version of this tool as part of a CI build process the following script should work.
```bash
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -e
# Based on
#https://blog.markvincze.com/download-artifacts-from-a-latest-github-release-in-sh-and-powershell/
LATEST_RELEASE=$(curl -L -s -H 'Accept: application/json' https://github.com/arranf/HugoToJSON/releases/latest)
# The releases are returned in the format {"id":3622206,"tag_name":"hello-1.0.0.11",...}, we have to extract the tag_name.
if test -x "$(command -v curl)"; then
code=$(curl -s -w '%{http_code}' -L "$ARTIFACT_URL" -o "$DOWNLOAD_FILE")
elif test -x "$(command -v wget)"; then
code=$(wget -q -O "$DOWNLOAD_FILE" --server-response "$ARTIFACT_URL" 2>&1 | awk '/^ HTTP/{print $2}' | tail -1)
else
echo "Neither curl nor wget was available to perform http requests."
exit 1
fi
if [ "$code" != 200 ]; then
echo "Request failed with code $code"
exit 1
fi
chmod +x "$DOWNLOAD_FILE"
```
