hugo-fedimojis

A Hugo module to add Mastodon emojis as shortcodes. This repo uses the custom emojis of infosec.exchange, the instance where I have my account.

This was hacked together in like 2,5 hours, please have mercy

Usage

Setup

Inside your hugo config add the following snippet and then run hugo mod get.

module:
  imports:
    - path: "github.com/rtfmkiesel/hugo-fedimojis"

Inserting Emojis

Inside your content, reference the emojis with a shortcode like the following:

{{< fm-ablobcatrave >}}

Styling

I can recommend the following CSS to make them fit nicely inside a sentence:

.fedimoji {
	display: inline;
	max-width: 1rem;
	max-height: 1rem;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	border: none;
}

Local

You can use this module locally with emojis from your preferred Mastodon instance.

git clone https://github.com/rtfmkiesel/hugo-fedimojis
cd hugo-fedimojis

# Clear out the current ones
rm -rf images/*
rm -rf layouts/shortcodes/*.html

# Build the Hugo shortcodes
python3 build.py -u <YOUR MASTODON URL>

Then add the module with:

hugo/config.yaml

module:
  imports:
    - path: "github.com/rtfmkiesel/hugo-fedimojis"

hugo/go.mod (Create if not already present)

module github.com/<YOU>/<YOURBLOG>

replace github.com/rtfmkiesel/hugo-fedimojis => <ABS PATH TO YOUR LOCAL MODULE>

go 1.XXX

require github.com/rtfmkiesel/hugo-fedimojis xxxxxx
