Hi there, Why should one use Hugo module over the traditional way of node module? Are there any added benefits when working in Hugo. I can import git repositories etc but just a comparison to the traditional way what are the benefits of Hugo modules vs node modules in Hugo. I find alot about how…

[image] pitifi9191: Why should one use Hugo module over the traditional way of node module? For me the list is long (and longer than this, probably): I don’t like NPM, so I like to avoid it whenever I can. It’s plenty of examples where their current dependency scheme breaks or does unexpect…

thanks @bep for taking the time I realise some benefits but wasn’t sure of how exactly it is better than the node modules. if you can please share the rest it will be really helpful to me and other beginners to understand and compare the benefits and why we should let go the method we normally use. …

[image] bep: But an Hugo Module is that, too, but it’s also content, images etc. point noted, I have to do more demo work to see how it work for me. [image] bep: I have no clue how to publish something to the NPM registry, and I don’t care to learn. Being able to just depend on a GitHub …

To be fair, one can use npm with both public and private repositories, regardless of whether they contain code or content. Feel free to try it with this test repository: npm install https://github.com/jmooring/hugo-content Then add this to your site config: [[module.mounts]] source = 'content' t…

Dear @jmooring thanks for sharing this info I read about this in Hugo docs but I was wondering since Hugo modules does the same thing(according to my beginner knowledge) why it exist and learn more about in which ways it is better then the traditional method. Since I am migrating some nextjs proj…

After almost two months of utilizing Hugo modules, there is only one thing I dislike about it: when I launch hugo or hugo server, existing modules are auto-downloaded. The automated downloading then displays JS faults, but those errors disappear after running hugo mod clean. When compared to Npm pa…

[image] pitifi9191: When compared to Npm packages, it appears that the user has little control over Hugo modules. With Npm developer decides on when to update packages, doesn’t seems to be the case with Hugo modules. I would argue it’s the other way, but eye is in the beholder.
