Configuration override is not possible. Please provide a flag

I agree and want to create new issue

• Yes, I was on Hexo Docs page, especially on Templates, Variables, Helpers and Troubleshooting.
• Yes, I was on NexT Documentation Site.
• And yes, I already searched for current issues and this is not help to me.

Hi,

I am contacting you because I really like this theme but I found something that could improve the usage of this theme, especially is you use it as a submodule.

What I basically need is a way to override totally the menu structure with my custom links. Although at the current status the default _config.yml defines a Home link which I can't remove/override. Also, since Hexo has the issue that languages cannot be overridden outside of the theme, I am basically stuck with the "Home" labelling even If I don't need it like that.

What I purpose is providing a flag in _data/next.yml that allows the user to decide if to merge the configs or to override them.

Thank you and best regards,
Julian

Expected behavior

When using _data/next.yml the configuration is fully overridden.

Actual behavior

When using _data/next.yml the configuration is merged.

Steps to reproduce the behavior

1. Try to comment the menu section.
2. Run hexo clean && hexo generate
3. Run hexo server

Hexo has a way to override theme config, why NEXT design another way? Have I miss anything here?

Fair enough, I was not aware of that. Willing to create a dedicated MR?

@nielinjie yes, please create new issue. Maybe need to do global refactoring in override option.
