Diego: a data importer extension for Hugo

Diego integrates with Hugo as a CLI tool to assist in importing and utilizing exported social media data from various services on Hugo websites.

Overview

diego is a CLI tool designed to import official CSV and JSON data files from popular services like Goodreads, IMDb, Instapaper, Letterboxd, Spotify, and YouTube into Hugo.

diego provides:

• Automatic CSV and JSON conversion into Hugo data files
• Support for all Hugo data file formats
• Easy data management in a human-readable format (YAML)
• Automatic generation of Hugo shortcodes for imported data
• Optional scrape capabilities for fetching missing fields
• Flags suited for scripting and pipelines
• Persistent configuration

Showcase

For a basic workflow example using diego to import data, see the demonstration.

For real usage examples, you can check the collections section on my personal Hugo website. I use diego to showcase my favorite albums, films, TV shows, music videos, and books.
