## Preact Block Integration
- Enable Preact component detection for data-driven pages:
- Fix init.html to resolve sections_source + per-section ref before Preact detection
- Correct resource paths: blox/* → js/hbx/blocks/* (Hugo module mounts)
- Update libraries.html to load Preact core + compiled block scripts
- Add dynamic icon rendering for Preact components:
- Create Icon.jsx component with SVG decoding
- Add get_icon_data.html partial for passing icon strings to Preact props
- Update preact-wrapper.html to fetch icon data and inject into props
- Wire hero component to render dynamic icons via <Icon svg={icon_svg} />
- Centralized logging system:
- Add functions/logger.html to wrap warnf/errorf safely
- Degrade to HTML comments in constrained contexts (content adapters)
## Reusable Landing Page Content System
- Add sections_source support:
- Page front matter: sections_source: pages/<key> loads base from data/pages/<key>.yaml
- Inline sections deep-merge over base by position; extras appended
- Add per-section ref system:
- Any section: ref: blocks/<slug> loads from data/blocks/<slug>.yaml
- Inline section properties deep-merge over ref (content/design submaps)
- Enable content reuse across multiple landing pages
- Create reusable block library:
- Add test/data/blocks/: hero_basic.yaml, features_basic.yaml
- Add test/content/linked/index.md demo using refs with overrides
- Add pragmatic deep merge for content/design override handling
## Infrastructure & Schemas
- Update base-block.json schema:
- Fix gradient structure: flat → nested (gradient.start/end/direction)
- Fix color structure: string|{light,dark} (matches parse_block_v3.html)
- Update hero schema to properly extend base via $ref
- Fix Tailwind source path generation:
- Add tailwind_sources.html with test vs starter site logic
- scripts/view-test.sh: export HUGO_BLOX_TEST_SITE=true
- Update block directory structure:
- blox/<name>/config.html (was blox/<name>--CONFIG.html)
- Apply to init.html + parse_block_v2.html
- Code quality improvements:
- Biome config: match Prettier rules
## Content Adapters (Removed)
- Investigated Hugo content adapters for landing pages
- Found execution context limitations (early build phase, limited site methods)
- Archived to backups/content-adapters-*.zip and removed from test site
- Decision: use standard pages + data linking instead of adapters
This enables dynamic Preact rendering with proper icon support while providing a flexible, reusable content system for landing pages that maintains the "single file = page" mental model with optional advanced linking.
Hugo Blox Tailwind UI
The Hugo Blox web framework utilizing Tailwind CSS v4 with Hugo's native integration for styling components with Tailwind v4.
Requirements
- Hugo v0.148.2+ (Extended Edition)
- Node.js v20+
- pnpm (see
packageManagerfield in package.json)
Quick Start
1. Install Dependencies
pnpm install
2. Run Development Server
hugo server
Tailwind CSS is processed automatically by Hugo using the css.TailwindCSS function.
Features
- Tailwind CSS v4: Latest version with improved performance over Tailwind v3
- Hugo Native Integration: Uses Hugo's built-in
css.TailwindCSSfunction - Dynamic CSS Generation: Only includes utilities actually used in your content for ultra-fast page loads
- No Pre-compilation: CSS is generated on-demand (previously Tailwind v3 was pre-compiled in Hugo Blox as
wc.min.css) - Community Components: Community components work seamlessly without manual compilation
Configuration
The Tailwind configuration is now in CSS format at assets/css/main.css using the @theme directive. The configuration includes:
- Hugo Blox color schemes (primary, secondary, neutral)
- Typography settings
- Safelist patterns for dynamic classes
- Dark mode support
Migration from Tailwind v3
If you're upgrading from Tailwind v3:
- Install the new dependencies:
pnpm install - Remove any
assets/dist/wc.min.cssfiles - Add the
package.jsonfile from the latest starter templates - Update your deployment scripts to install it with
pnpm install(refer to the latest.githubfolder in the starters) - The old
tailwind.config.jsandpostcss.config.jsfiles are no longer needed
Development
For module development:
# Install dependencies
pnpm install
# Run development server
hugo server --disableFastRender
# Build for production
hugo --minify
Vendor Libraries
The module includes several third-party vendor libraries that are distributed with the module. These are copied from node_modules to the assets/dist/lib directory during the build process.
To update the vendor libraries:
# Update vendor libraries to the latest versions and rebuild
pnpm vendor:update-and-build
# Just rebuild vendor libraries without updating versions
pnpm vendor:libs
The following libraries are included:
- mermaid (diagrams)
- plotly.js (interactive charts)
- katex (math rendering)
- markmap-autoloader (mind maps)
- alpinejs (interactivity)
- preact (interactive components)
