You’d do this by putting archetype templates in the archetypes/ folder of your site, corresponding to the “section” each page falls into. You can read more on archetypes in Hugo’s documentation.

Thank you, but it isn’t enough. The hugo new will not fill all front matter values.

I was considering to pass them as parameters on command line.

I’m starting with 95 items within a JSON. I don’t know the final number.

You can try importing them with some script. I use a ruby script for that.

then you just run it with ruby import.rb. You can adapt it to your needs.

require 'open-uri' let’s you retrieve info from a url.

Thank you!

I gonna follow a NodeJS path, since it’s already a dependency of my project.

A dataContent folder could be really useful.
