Create the configuration (file) for Netlify — config

This function provides some default configurations for a Huge website to be built via Hugo and deployed on Netlify. It sets the build command for the production and preview contexts, respectively (for preview contexts such as deploy-preview, the command will build future posts). It also sets the publish directory according to your setting in Hugo's config file (if it exists, otherwise it will be the default public directory). The Hugo version is set to the current version of Hugo found on your computer.

Usage

config_netlify(output = "netlify.toml", new_config = list())

Arguments

output: Path to the output file, or NULL. If the file exists and the R session is interactive, you will be prompted to decide whether to overwrite the file.
new_config: If any default configuration does not apply to your site, you may provide a list of configurations to override the default. For example, if you want to use Hugo v0.25.1, you may use new_config = list(build = list(environment = list(HUGO_VERSION = '0.25.1'))).

Value

If output = NULL, a character vector of TOML data representing the configurations (which you can preview and decide whether to write it to a file), otherwise the TOML data is written to a file.
