Taxonomy Terms Page Variables

Taxonomy terms pages are of the type Page and have the following additional variables.

For example, the following fields would be available in layouts/_defaults/terms.html, depending on how you organize your taxonomy templates:

.Data.Singular

The singular name of the taxonomy (e.g., tags => tag`)

.Data.Plural

The plural name of the taxonomy (e.g., tags => tags)

.Data.Pages

The list of pages in the taxonomy

.Data.Terms

The taxonomy itself

.Data.Terms.Alphabetical

The taxonomy terms alphabetized

.Data.Terms.ByCount

The Terms ordered by popularity

Note that .Data.Terms.Alphabetical and .Data.Terms.ByCount can also be reversed:

• .Data.Terms.Alphabetical.Reverse
• .Data.Terms.ByCount.Reverse

Use .Site.Taxonomies Outside of Taxonomy Templates

The .Site.Taxonomies variable holds all the taxonomies defined site-wide. .Site.Taxonomies is a map of the taxonomy name to a list of its values (e.g., `"tags" -> ["tag1", "tag2", "tag3"]``). Each value, though, is not a string but rather a Taxonomy variable.

The .Taxonomy Variable

The .Taxonomy variable, available, for example, as .Site.Taxonomies.tags, contains the list of tags (values) and, for each tag, their corresponding content pages.

Example Usage of .Site.Taxonomies

The following partial template will list all your site's taxonomies, each of their keys, and all the content assigned to each of the keys. For more examples of how to order and render your taxonomies, see Taxonomy Templates.
