Installation

Install the theme

Install the theme by using:

npm i hexo-theme-mindyne --save

Then update your blog's main _config.yml to set the theme to minidyne:

i.e:

theme: minidyne

You'll also need the following hexo plugins for this theme to work. Add them in the package.json (they should already be there, but just in case):

  "dependencies": {
    "hexo-generator-feed": "^3.0.0",
    "hexo-generator-index": "^3.0.0",
    "hexo-generator-tag": "^2.0.0",
    "hexo-renderer-ejs": "^2.0.0",
    "hexo-renderer-postcss": "^X.X.0",
    "postcss-imports": "^X.X.0"
  }

Limitations

This theme does not handle:

• Categories (so you can drop the default dependency to "hexo-generator-category" )
• Archives (so you can drop the default dependency to "hexo-generator-archive". If you want archives, head over to V1)
• Images gallery
• Pagination (if you want pagination, head over to V1 branch)

Post Configuration

Each post supports the standard title, date, tags.

Post Icon

On top of that, you can specify an icon (ascii/unicode emoji):

Example:

title: Welcome to Minidyne
tags: ["ThisIsATag", "Intro", "Welcome", "Minidyne"]
icon: 🤝
---

Pick one from https://emojipedia.org/
