How to use GO inside HUGO

support

Hello everyone,

I was wondering how to use some GO within HUGO, perhaps maybe within the template? Or to import it as. module and call it as a function perhaps? I am not quite sure TBH.

The issue is I need to call an http get request, but I need to pass some headers, and I am aware of the current limitations, so I thought I would just opt in to write some custom code with the net/http package. I am just unaware of how/where to place it and how to call it within the project.

I don’t code in GO, but I am a developer (Mainly Elixir) and looking at the docs, it seems fairly simple. I can get the basics running on its own, I just need some guidance on the integration.

This is my first post! :slight_smile: So far I am liking HUGO (Coming from 11ty, Gatsby, Next, Nuxt). I am just missing the features of being Ableton implement my own code when the tools are not provided

It is not possible to use Go packages within Hugo.

Unless you fork Hugo and add the package on your own.

Oh that is bummer :frowning_face:

I do not want to fork Hugo.

Thanks for the quick reply anyways
