[Question] database source

support
1

Hello i saw that its not supported to generate/build from a database source. I used to do that in gatsby for some stuff and i remember once i used some posts from an old wordpress website that i had backed up here. also with strapi.

wouldnt this feature be interesting? import data from databases like sql and nosql to build the static pages?

for me this usecase makes sense. If it makes sense for others and also for the HUGO Project i would love to fork it and start working in it for it becoming a new future feature.

Sure. but as a compiled feature, it’s not practical (we cannot embed drivers for all databases in the world). We do have some plans for some WASM extensions, which would allow people to “compile their own”, but that’s not coming tomorrow.

We do support HTTP get/post, which is a fairly common protocol.
