The following is a list of site-level (aka "global") variables. Many of these variables are defined in your site's configuration file, whereas others are built into Hugo's core for convenient usage in your templates.

Get the site object from a partial

All the methods below, e.g. .Site.RegularPages can also be reached via the global site function, e.g. site.RegularPages, which can be handy in partials where the Page object isn't easily available.

Site variables

.Site.AllPages
array of all pages, regardless of their translation.
.Site.BaseURL
the base URL for the site as defined in the site configuration.

.Site.Language.LanguageName
the full language name (e.g. English).

.Site.LanguageCode
a string representing the language tag as defined in the site configuration.
.Site.LanguagePrefix
this can be used to prefix URLs to point to the correct language. It will even work when there is only one defined language. See also the functions absLangURL and relLangURL.
.Site.Languages
an ordered list (ordered by defined weight) of languages.
.Site.LastChange
a string representing the date/time of the most recent change to your site. This string is based on the date variable in the front matter of your content pages.
.Site.Menus
all the menus in the site.
.Site.Pages
array of all content ordered by Date with the newest first. This array contains only the pages in the current language.
.Site.RegularPages

.Site.Sections
top-level directories of the site.
.Site.Taxonomies
the taxonomies for the entire site. Also see section Access taxonomy data from any template.
.Site.Title
a string representing the title of the site.

Site parameters

.Site.Params is a container holding the values from the params section of your site configuration.

Example: .Site.Params

The following config.[yaml|toml|json] defines a site-wide parameter for description:

{{< code-toggle file="hugo" >}} baseURL = "https://yoursite.example.com/"

[params] description = "Tesla's Awesome Hugo Site" author = "Nikola Tesla" {{</ code-toggle >}}

You can use .Site.Params in a partial template to call the default site description:

{{< code file="layouts/partials/head.html" >}}

{{< /code >}}
