Integrating HTMX into your Hugo project can enhance the interactivity of your site without requiring a full-fledged JavaScript framework. HTMX allows you to make your static site more dynamic by enabling AJAX, CSS Transitions, WebSockets, and Server Sent Events (SSE) directly in HTML. This can be particularly useful for enhancing user experience without the complexity of traditional JavaScript frameworks.
When to Use HTMX
HTMX is useful for:
- Enhancing Interactivity: Adding dynamic features like in-place content updates, form submissions, and interactive elements without a full JavaScript framework.
- AJAX Requests: Making asynchronous requests to the server to update parts of your page without reloading.
- Progressive Enhancement: Gradually enhancing your static site with more interactive features.
Integrating HTMX into Hugo
Here's how you can integrate HTMX into your Hugo site, especially for data visualization and client reports.
Step-by-Step Integration
1. Install Hugo and Create a New Site
If you haven't already, install Hugo and create a new site:
hugo new site smma-telemetry
cd smma-telemetry
2. Initialize Git and Add a Bootstrap Theme
git init
git submodule add https://github.com/razonyang/hugo-theme-bootstrap themes/hugo-theme-bootstrap
Update your config.toml to use the theme:
baseURL = 'https://example.org/'
languageCode = 'en-us'
title = 'SMMA Telemetry'
theme = 'hugo-theme-bootstrap'
3. Set Up Project Structure
mkdir -p content/clients
mkdir -p data/clients
mkdir -p static/css
mkdir -p static/js
4. Add HTMX to Your Project
Add HTMX via a CDN in your base layout file.
layouts/_default/baseof.html:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<title>{{ .Title }}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{{ .Description }}">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ "css/styles.css" | relURL }}">

</html>
5. Create Data Files
Store ads telemetry data for each client in JSON format. For example:
data/clients/client1.json:
{
"name": "Client 1",
"ads_data": [
{ "date": "2024-05-01", "google_ads": 500, "meta_ads": 300 },
{ "date": "2024-05-02", "google_ads": 700, "meta_ads": 400 },
{ "date": "2024-05-03", "google_ads": 600, "meta_ads": 350 }
]
}
6. Create Content Files
Create a content file for each client. For example:
content/clients/client1.md:
---
title: "Client 1"
date: 2024-05-23
---
# Client 1 Ads Telemetry
<div class="card mb-3">
<div class="card-body">
<h5 class="card-title">Ads Data Visualization</h5>
<canvas id="adsChart" width="400" height="200"></canvas>
</div>
</div>
<button hx-get="/clients/client1-data" hx-target="#adsChart" hx-trigger="load">Load Data</button>
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
const data = {{ .Site.Data.clients.client1.ads_data | jsonify }};
const ctx = document.getElementById('adsChart').getContext('2d');
const labels = data.map(item => item.date);
const googleAds = data.map(item => item.google_ads);
const metaAds = data.map(item => item.meta_ads);
new Chart(ctx, {
type: 'line',
data: {
labels: labels,
datasets: [
{
label: 'Google Ads',
data: googleAds,
borderColor: 'rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)',
backgroundColor: 'rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)',
fill: false
},
{
label: 'Meta Ads',
data: metaAds,
borderColor: 'rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)',
backgroundColor: 'rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)',
fill: false
}
]
},
options: {
scales: {
y: {
beginAtZero: true
}
}
}
});
});
</script>
7. Add Custom JavaScript and CSS
static/js/scripts.js:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
console.log('Custom JS Loaded');
});
static/css/styles.css:
body {
font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
line-height: 1.6;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
background: #f4f4f4;
}
#adsChart {
max-width: 600px;
margin: 50px auto;
}
8. Create a Server-side Endpoint
To handle HTMX requests, create a server-side script (e.g., in Python or another language of your choice) to serve the data dynamically.
Example Python Flask Endpoint (app.py):
from flask import Flask, jsonify
import json
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.route('/clients/client1-data')
def client1_data():
with open('data/clients/client1.json') as f:
data = json.load(f)
return jsonify(data['ads_data'])
if __name__ == '__main__':
app.run(debug=True)
9. Run the Hugo Server
hugo server -D
Visit http://localhost:1313 to see your site in action.

Here's a detailed approach to creating a data visualization project using Hugo, Bootstrap, and Chart.js, broken down into specific steps and components:
1. Project Setup
- Install Hugo: Make sure Hugo is installed on your machine. Follow the installation guide from the official Hugo site.
- Create a New Hugo Site: Run
hugo new site <site-name>to generate a new Hugo site.hugo new site smma-telemetry cd smma-telemetry - Choose a Theme: Select a Hugo theme that supports Bootstrap, or integrate Bootstrap manually. For this example, we'll use the "Hugo Bootstrap" theme.
git init git submodule add https://github.com/razonyang/hugo-theme-bootstrap themes/hugo-theme-bootstrap
2. Organize Content Structure
- Create Sections: Define sections in your Hugo site for different reports. Each section can represent a different data report.
- Example:
content/reports/
mkdir -p content/reports - Example:
- Markdown Files: Create Markdown files for each report in the corresponding section.
- Example:
content/reports/report1.md
hugo new reports/report1.md - Example:
3. Layout and Templates
-
Base Template: Create a base template in
layouts/_default/baseof.htmlto include the common HTML structure, including Bootstrap CSS and JS. layouts/_default/baseof.html:<!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8"> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"> <title>{{ .Title }}</title> <meta name="description" content="{{ .Description }}"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/css/bootstrap.min.css"> <link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ "css/styles.css" | relURL }}"> </head> <body> <nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light"> <a class="navbar-brand" href="{{ "/" | relURL }}">{{ .Site.Title }}</a> <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarNav" aria-controls="navbarNav" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation"> <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span> </button> <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarNav"> <ul class="navbar-nav"> <li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" href="{{ "/" | relURL }}">Home</a> </li> <li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" href="{{ "/reports/" | relURL }}">Reports</a> </li> </ul> </div> </nav> <main class="container mt-4"> {{ block "main" . }}{{ end }} </main> <footer class="footer bg-light text-center py-3"> <p>© {{ now.Format "2006" }} {{ .Site.Title }}</p> </footer> <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.1.slim.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@popperjs/core@2.9.2/dist/umd/popper.min.js"></script> <script src="https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.2/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script> <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js"></script> <script src="{{ "js/scripts.js" | relURL }}"></script> </body> </html> -
Single Report Template: Create a single report layout in
layouts/reports/single.htmlto define how each report page will be rendered. layouts/reports/single.html:{{ define "main" }} <article class="report"> <header> <h1>{{ .Title }}</h1> <time datetime="{{ .Date }}">{{ .Date }}</time> </header> <section> {{ .Content }} </section> </article> {{ end }}
4. Static Files
-
CSS and JS: Add custom CSS and JS files in the
static/directory for additional styling and scripting if needed.mkdir -p static/css mkdir -p static/js -
Custom CSS: Create a custom CSS file for additional styles. static/css/styles.css:
body { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #f4f4f4; } .report { max-width: 800px; margin: 50px auto; padding: 20px; background: white; border-radius: 10px; box-shadow: 0 0 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1); } .report header { margin-bottom: 20px; } -
Custom JS: Create a custom JS file for additional scripts. static/js/scripts.js:
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () { console.log('Custom JS Loaded'); });
5. Integrate Chart.js
-
Chart.js Configuration: In your report Markdown files, include configuration details for the charts. You can use shortcodes or partials for better organization.
-
Shortcode Example: Create a shortcode for Chart.js in
layouts/shortcodes/chart.html. layouts/shortcodes/chart.html:<canvas id="{{ .Get "id" }}" width="400" height="200"></canvas> <script> var ctx = document.getElementById('{{ .Get "id" }}').getContext('2d'); var myChart = new Chart(ctx, { type: '{{ .Get "type" }}', data: { labels: {{ .Get "labels" }}, datasets: [{ label: '{{ .Get "label" }}', data: {{ .Get "data" }}, backgroundColor: {{ .Get "backgroundColor" }}, borderColor: {{ .Get "borderColor" }}, borderWidth: 1 }] }, options: { scales: { y: { beginAtZero: true } } } }); </script> -
Usage in Markdown: Use the shortcode in your report Markdown files. content/reports/report1.md:
--- title: "Report 1" date: 2024-05-23 --- # Report 1 Data Visualization {{< chart id="myChart" type="bar" labels='["Red", "Blue", "Yellow", "Green", "Purple", "Orange"]' data='[12, 19, 3, 5, 2, 3]' label="Votes" backgroundColor='["rgba(255, 99, 132, 0.2)", "rgba(54, 162, 235, 0.2)", "rgba(255, 206, 86, 0.2)", "rgba(75, 192, 192, 0.2)", "rgba(153, 102, 255, 0.2)", "rgba(255, 159, 64, 0.2)"]' borderColor='["rgba(255, 99, 132, 1)", "rgba(54, 162, 235, 1)", "rgba(255, 206, 86, 1)", "rgba(75, 192, 192, 1)", "rgba(153, 102, 255, 1)", "rgba(255, 159, 64, 1)"]' >}}
6. Build and Deploy
-
Local Development: Use
hugo serverto serve your site locally and see the changes in real-time.hugo server -D -
Deployment: Once satisfied, deploy your site to a hosting platform of your choice (e.g., GitHub Pages, Netlify).
hugo --minify
