Navigate to your hugo project root and run:

### Creating site from scratch
Below is example how to create new site from scratch
```sh
hugo new site mydocs; cd mydocs
git init
git submodule add https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book themes/book
cp -R themes/book/exampleSite/content .
```
```sh
hugo server --minify --theme book
```
## Menu
### File tree menu (default)
By default theme will render pages from `content/docs` section as menu in a tree structure.
You can set `title` and `weight` in front matter of pages to adjust order and titles in menu.
### Leaf bundle menu
You can also use leaf bundle and content of it's `index.md` as menu.
Given you have this file structure
```
├── content
│ ├── docs
│ │ ├── page-one.md
│ │ └── page-two.md
│ └── posts
│ ├── post-one.md
│ └── post-two.md
```
Create file `content/docs/menu/index.md` with content
```md
+++
headless = true
+++
- [Book Example]({{< relref "/docs/" >}})
- [Page One]({{< relref "/docs/page-one" >}})
- [Page Two]({{< relref "/docs/page-two" >}})
- [Blog]({{< relref "/posts" >}})
```
And Enable it by settings `BookMenuBundle: /menu` in Site configuration
- [Example menu](https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book/blob/master/exampleSite/content/menu/index.md)
- [Example config file](https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book/blob/master/exampleSite/config.yaml)
- [Leaf bundles](https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/)
## Blog
Simple blog supported for section `posts`.
Blog is not primary use case so book theme so it has only minimal features
## Configuration
### Site Configuration
There are few configuration options you can add to your `config.toml` file.
You can also see `yaml` example [here](https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book/blob/master/exampleSite/config.yaml).
```toml
# (Optional) Set Google Analytics if you use it to track your website.
# Always put it on the top of the configuration file, otherwise it won't work
googleAnalytics = "UA-XXXXXXXXX-X"
# (Optional) Set this to true if you use capital letters in file names
disablePathToLower = true
# (Optional) Set this to true to enable 'Last Modified by' date and git author
# information on 'doc' type pages.
enableGitInfo = true
# (Optional) Theme is intended for documentation use, therefore it doesn't render taxonomy.
# You can remove related files with config below
disableKinds = ['taxonomy', 'taxonomyTerm']
[params]
# (Optional, default 6) Set how many table of contents levels to be showed on page.
# Use false to hide ToC, note that 0 will default to 6 (https://gohugo.io/functions/default/)
# You can also specify this parameter per page in front matter
BookToC = 3
# (Optional, default none) Set the path to a logo for the book. If the logo is
# /static/logo.png then the path would be 'logo.png'
BookLogo = 'logo.png'
# (Optional, default none) Set leaf bundle to render as side menu
# When not specified file structure and weights will be used
BookMenuBundle = '/menu'
# (Optional, default docs) Specify section of content to render as menu
# You can also set value to "*" to render all sections to menu
BookSection = 'docs'
# Set source repository location.
# Used for 'Last Modified' and 'Edit this page' links.
BookRepo = 'https://github.com/alex-shpak/hugo-book'
# Enable 'Edit this page' links for 'doc' page type.
# Disabled by default. Uncomment to enable. Requires 'BookRepo' param.
# Path must point to 'content' directory of repo.
BookEditPath = 'edit/master/exampleSite/content'
# (Optional, default January 2, 2006) Configure the date format used on the pages
# - In git information
# - In blog posts
BookDateFormat = 'Jan 2, 2006'
# (Optional, default true) Enables search function with lunr.js,
# Index is built on fly, therefore it might slowdown your website.
BookSearch = true
# (Optional, default none) Search config for flexsearch index.
# Read documentation at https://github.com/nextapps-de/flexsearch#usage. By default 'balance' preset is used.
# This option allows to set specific configs for languages support. Must be valid JavaScript object.
BookSearchConfig = '{ cache: true }'
```
### Page Configuration
You can specify additional params per page in front matter
```toml
# Set type to 'docs' if you want to render page outside of configured section or if you render section other than 'docs'
type = 'docs'
# Set page weight to re-arrange items in file-tree menu (if BookMenuBundle not set)
weight = 10
# (Optional) Set to mark page as flat section in file-tree menu (if BookMenuBundle not set)
bookFlatSection = true
# (Optional, Experimental) Set to hide nested sections or pages at that level. Works only with file-tree menu mode
bookCollapseSection = true
# (Optional) Set true to hide page or section from side menu (if BookMenuBundle not set)
bookHidden = true
# (Optional) Set how many levels of ToC to show. use 'false' to hide ToC completely
bookToC = 3
```
