I’ve written Go bindings for Lemmy’s HTTP API. If anyone wants to use them, the import path is go.arsenm.dev/go-lemmy. The repo is at https://gitea.arsenm.dev/Arsen6331/go-lemmy with a mirror on GitHub: https://github.com/Arsen6331/go-lemmy.

I’ve used Hugo quite a bit. It’s a static site generator. That’s the problem, it’s static. There’s no way to run actual Go code on a static site because it runs entirely client-side. However, Lemmy has an official JS client which is perfect for that use case. With lemmy-js-client, yes, you could (probably) display Lemmy info on a Hugo site
Hey, thank you for the reply.
I went through the js-client docs, and the available methods.
Seems
GetPostis the one required for importing comments.I suppose it would arrive (to Hugo) as a json object (identical to the one in the console log of a Lemmy post).
Within that
GetPostdata, I see that each nested-comment has a parent-comment-id.**
1 - So would the idea be to rebuild a UI for the nested comments section?
(and then connect other JS-client objects to new UI-elements, such as voting-buttons and reply-inputs)?
2 - Or is there an easier way to display the data, since [Lemmy] and [all built-Hugo-pages] are running on the same server/domain?
(and since Lemmy already has the UI code to build nested comments)
[NOTE: Lemmy is in docker, Hugo-pages are in
/srv/]**
Essentially - What is the suggested/optimal way to display that js-client info on a js-capable static page?
[Please forgive any naiveté in those questions. I am willing to experiment with new approaches.]
I appreciate your response. It’s good to know that this technique is available.
