These alternative **content views** are especially useful in [list templates][lists].
|
|
|
|
The following are common use cases for content views:
|
|
|
|
* You want content of every type to be shown on the homepage but only with limited [summary views][summaries].
|
|
* You only want a bulleted list of your content on a [taxonomy list page][taxonomylists]. Views make this very straightforward by delegating the rendering of each different type of content to the content itself.
|
|
|
|
## Create a Content View
|
|
|
|
To create a new view, create a template in each of your different content type directories with the view name. The following example contains an "li" view and a "summary" view for the `posts` and `project` content types. As you can see, these sit next to the [single content view][single] template, `single.html`. You can even provide a specific view for a given type and continue to use the `_default/single.html` for the primary view.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
▾ layouts/
|
|
▾ posts/
|
|
li.html
|
|
single.html
|
|
summary.html
|
|
▾ project/
|
|
li.html
|
|
single.html
|
|
summary.html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Hugo also has support for a default content template to be used in the event that a specific content view template has not been provided for that type. Content views can also be defined in the `_default` directory and will work the same as list and single templates who eventually trickle down to the `_default` directory as a matter of the lookup order.
|
|
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
▾ layouts/
|
|
▾ _default/
|
|
li.html
|
|
single.html
|
|
summary.html
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Which Template Will be Rendered?
|
|
|
|
The following is the [lookup order][lookup] for content views:
|
|
|
|
1. `/layouts/<TYPE>/<VIEW>.html`
|
|
2. `/layouts/_default/<VIEW>.html`
|
|
3. `/themes/<THEME>/layouts/<TYPE>/<VIEW>.html`
|
|
4. `/themes/<THEME>/layouts/_default/<VIEW>.html`
|
|
|
|
## Example: Content View Inside a List
|
|
|
|
The following example demonstrates how to use content views inside of your [list templates][lists].
|
|
|
|
### `list.html`
|
|
|
|
In this example, `.Render` is passed into the template to call the [render function][render]. `.Render` is a special function that instructs content to render itself with the view template provided as the first argument. In this case, the template is going to render the `summary.html` view that follows:
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="layouts/_default/list.html" download="list.html" >}}
|
|
<main id="main">
|
|
<div>
|
|
<h1 id="title">{{ .Title }}</h1>
|
|
{{ range .Pages }}
|
|
{{ .Render "summary"}}
|
|
{{ end }}
|
|
</div>
|
|
</main>
|
|
{{< /code >}}
|
|
|
|
### `summary.html`
|
|
|
|
Hugo will pass the entire page object to the following `summary.html` view template. (See [Page Variables][pagevars] for a complete list.)
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="layouts/_default/summary.html" download="summary.html" >}}
|
|
<article class="post">
|
|
<header>
|
|
<h2><a href='{{ .Permalink }}'> {{ .Title }}</a> </h2>
|
|
<div class="post-meta">{{ .Date.Format "Mon, Jan 2, 2006" }} - {{ .FuzzyWordCount }} Words </div>
|
|
</header>
|
|
{{ .Summary }}
|
|
<footer>
|
|
<a href='{{ .Permalink }}'><nobr>Read more →</nobr></a>
|
|
</footer>
|
|
</article>
|
|
{{< /code >}}
|
|
|
|
### `li.html`
|
|
|
|
Continuing on the previous example, we can change our render function to use a smaller `li.html` view by changing the argument in the call to the `.Render` function (i.e., `{{ .Render "li" }}`).
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="layouts/_default/li.html" download="li.html" >}}
|
|
<li>
|
|
<a href="{{ .Permalink }}">{{ .Title }}</a>
|
|
<div class="meta">{{ .Date.Format "Mon, Jan 2, 2006" }}</div>
|
|
</li>
|
|
{{< /code >}}
