Site Variables Site Variables Many, but not all, site-wide variables are defined in your site's configuration. However, Hugo provides a number of built-in variables for convenient access to global values in your templates. 2017-02-01 2017-02-01 2017-02-01

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. {{< new-in "0.53" >}}.

Site Variables List

.Site.AllPages
array of all pages, regardless of their translation.
.Site.Author
a map of the authors as defined in the site configuration.

the language code of the current locale (e.g., en).

.Site.Language.Weight

.Site.Language

.Site.LanguageCode
a string representing the language as defined in the site configuration. This is mostly used to populate the RSS feeds with the right language code.
.Site.LanguagePrefix
this can be used to prefix URLs to point to the correct language. It will even work when 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 of 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. See .Site.Pages.
.Site.RegularPages

.Site.Sections

The .Site.Params Variable

.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 param for description:

{{< code-toggle file="config" >}} 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 >}}

The .Site.Pages Variable

.Site.Pages compared to .Pages

{{< getcontent path="readfiles/pages-vs-site-pages.md" >}}
