Support for hugo

[SingularisArt]

How can I get this working with Hugo? Is it even possible?

[Haroenv]

There's nothing specific about the backend or static site generation that would make autocomplete not work. Can you clarify where you are stuck?

[SingularisArt]

I don't know where to start.
It seems like all the information is scattered. Either that or I haven't researched enough.

[Haroenv]

the guides are available here: https://www.algolia.com/doc/ui-libraries/autocomplete/introduction/what-is-autocomplete/

[SingularisArt]

Is there anything other than that guide because I have difficulty understanding the documentation and implementing the actual code.

There's also examples here: https://github.com/algolia/autocomplete/tree/next/examples

Hi @SingularisArt! There's nothing special to know about using Autocomplete in a Hugo website. The autocomplete-js library works in any vanilla JavaScript project. Hugo's front end lets you add JavaScript, so you have everything you need.

You can follow this guide which should be enough to get an autocomplete up and running in your site.
