The `Identifier` method returns the `identifier` property of the menu entry. If you define the menu entry [automatically], it returns the page's section.
|
|
|
|
[automatically]: /content-management/menus/#define-automatically
|
|
|
|
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
|
|
[[menu.main]]
|
|
identifier = 'about'
|
|
name = 'About'
|
|
pageRef = '/about'
|
|
weight = 10
|
|
|
|
[[menu.main]]
|
|
identifier = 'contact'
|
|
name = 'Contact'
|
|
pageRef = '/contact'
|
|
weight = 20
|
|
{{< /code-toggle >}}

This example uses the `Identifier` method when querying the translation table on a multilingual site, falling back the `name` property if a matching key in the translation table does not exist:
|
|
|
|
```go-html-template
|
|
<ul>
|
|
{{ range .Site.Menus.main }}
|
|
<li><a href="{{ .URL }}">{{ or (T .Identifier) .Name }}</a></li>
|
|
{{ end }}
|
|
</ul>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
In the menu definition above, note that the `identifier` property is only required when two or more menu entries have the same name, or when localizing the name using translation tables.
