Hyde Decap

A plugin for Jekyll that removes some of the setup and configuration when adding Decap CMS to a Jekyll site.

The repository has instructions to get up and running.

Features

  • Automatic creation of the /admin (or custom page), which includes the Javascript and mount-point for Decap to load.

  • It adds (Responsive Decap](https://github.com/hithismani/responsive-decap/) to provide a better mobile experience to Decap.

  • Configuration for Decap CMS is through YML which Hyde Decap gets from Jekyll’s _config.yml instead of a standalone config.

  • Provides a command for Jekyll CLI jekyll decap which acts like jekyll serve, but launches two processes, one for building and serving Jekyll and the other running a local backend for Decap CMS to connect to.

    1. Serve - This is the same command as calling jekyll serve and any options passed to jekyll decap will be forwarded to serve

    2. Netlify CMS Proxy Server - Facilitates local development by stubbing OAuth login and git management.
