`default` checks whether a given value is set and returns a default value if it is not. *Set* in this context means different things depending on date type:
|
|
|
|
* non-zero for numeric types and times
|
|
* non-zero length for strings, arrays, slices, and maps
|
|
* any boolean or struct value
|
|
* non-nil for any other types
|
|
|
|
`default` function examples reference the following content page:
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="content/posts/default-function-example.md" >}}

`default` can be written in more than one way:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{{ index .Params "font" | default "Roboto" }}
|
|
{{ default "Roboto" (index .Params "font") }}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Both of the above `default` function calls return `Roboto`.
|
|
|
|
A `default` value, however, does not need to be hard coded like the previous example. The `default` value can be a variable or pulled directly from the front matter using dot notation:
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="variable-as-default-value.html" nocopy="true" >}}
|
|
{{$old := .Params.oldparam }}
|
|
<p>{{ .Params.newparam | default $old }}</p>
|
|
{{< /code >}}
|
|
|
|
Which would return:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
<p>The default function helps make your templating DRYer.</p>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
And then using dot notation
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="dot-notation-default-value.html" >}}
|
|
<title>{{ .Params.seo_title | default .Title }}</title>
|
|
{{< /code >}}
|
|
|
|
Which would return
|
|
|
|
{{< output file="dot-notation-default-return-value.html" >}}
|
|
<title>Sane Defaults</title>
|
|
{{< /output >}}
|
|
|
|
The following have equivalent return values but are far less terse. This demonstrates the utility of `default`:
|
|
|
|
Using `if`:
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="if-instead-of-default.html" nocopy="true" >}}
|
|
<title>{{if .Params.seo_title}}{{.Params.seo_title}}{{else}}{{.Title}}{{end}}</title>
|
|
=> Sane Defaults
|
|
{{< /code >}}
|
|
|
|
Using `with`:
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="with-instead-of-default.html" nocopy="true" >}}
|
|
<title>{{with .Params.seo_title}}{{.}}{{else}}{{.Title}}{{end}}</title>
|
|
=> Sane Defaults
|
|
{{< /code >}}
