urls.AbsURL	Returns an absolute URL.			aliases related returnType signatures absURL functions/urls/AbsLangURL functions/urls/RelLangURL functions/urls/RelURL string urls.AbsURL INPUT	/functions/absurl

With multilingual configurations, use the absLangURL function instead. The URL returned by this function depends on:

• Whether the input begins with a slash
• The baseURL in site configuration

Input does not begin with a slash

If the input does not begin with a slash, the resulting URL will be correct regardless of the baseURL.

With baseURL = https://example.org/

{{ absURL "" }}           →   https://example.org/
{{ absURL "articles" }}   →   https://example.org/articles
{{ absURL "style.css" }}  →   https://example.org/style.css

With baseURL = https://example.org/docs/

{{ absURL "" }}           →   https://example.org/docs/
{{ absURL "articles" }}   →   https://example.org/docs/articles
{{ absURL "style.css" }}  →   https://example.org/docs/style.css

Input begins with a slash

If the input begins with a slash, the resulting URL will be incorrect when the baseURL includes a subdirectory. With a leading slash, the function returns a URL relative to the protocol+host section of the baseURL.

With baseURL = https://example.org/

{{ absURL "/" }}          →   https://example.org/
{{ absURL "/articles" }}  →   https://example.org/articles
{{ absURL "/style.css" }} →   https://example.org/style.css

With baseURL = https://example.org/docs/

{{ absURL "/" }}          →   https://example.org/
{{ absURL "/articles" }}  →   https://example.org/articles
{{ absURL "/style.css" }} →   https://example.org/style.css

{{% note %}} The last three examples are not desirable in most situations. As a best practice, never include a leading slash when using this function. {{% /note %}}
