The following is a list of site-level (aka "global") variables. Many of these variables are defined in your site's [configuration file][config], 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`](/functions/site/) function, e.g. `site.RegularPages`, which can be handy in partials where the `Page` object isn't easily available.

## 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](/templates/partials/) to call the default site description:
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="layouts/partials/head.html" >}}
|
|
<meta name="description" content="{{ if .IsHome }}{{ $.Site.Params.description }}{{ else }}{{ .Description }}{{ end }}" />
|
|
{{< /code >}}
|
|
|
|
[config]: /getting-started/configuration/
