The following is a list of page-level variables. Many of these will be defined in the front matter, derived from file location, or extracted from the content itself.
|
|
|
|
{{% note "`.Scratch`" %}}
|
|
See [`.Scratch`](/functions/scratch/) for page-scoped, writable variables.
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
## Page Variables
|
|
|
|
.AlternativeOutputFormats
|
|

|
|
|
.Content
|
|
: the content itself, defined below the front matter.
|
|
|
|
.Data
|
|
: the data specific to this type of page.
|
|
|
|
.Date
|
|
: the date associated with the page; `.Date` pulls from the `date` field in a content's front matter. See also `.ExpiryDate`, `.PublishDate`, and `.Lastmod`.

: a boolean, `true` if the content is marked as a draft in the front matter.
|
|
|
|
.ExpiryDate

|
|
- If `lastmod` is not set, and `.GitInfo` feature is enabled, `.GitInfo.AuthorDate` will be used instead.

|
|
|
|
.Weight

## Section Variables and Methods
|
|
|
|
Also see [Sections](/content-management/sections/).
|
|
|
|
{{< readfile file="/content/readfiles/sectionvars.md" markdown="true" >}}
|
|
|
|
## Page-level Params
|
|
|
|
Any other value defined in the front matter in a content file, including taxonomies, will be made available as part of the `.Params` variable.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
---
|
|
title: My First Post
|
|
date: date: 2017-02-20T15:26:23-06:00
|
|
categories: [one]
|
|
tags: [two,three,four]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
With the above front matter, the `tags` and `categories` taxonomies are accessible via the following:
|
|
|
|
* `.Params.tags`
|
|
* `.Params.categories`
|
|
|
|
{{% note "Casing of Params" %}}
|
|
Page-level `.Params` are *only* accessible in lowercase.
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
The `.Params` variable is particularly useful for the introduction of user-defined front matter fields in content files. For example, a Hugo website on book reviews could have the following front matter in `/content/review/book01.md`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
---
|
|
...
|
|
affiliatelink: "http://www.my-book-link.here"
|
|
recommendedby: "My Mother"
|
|
...
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
These fields would then be accessible to the `/themes/yourtheme/layouts/review/single.html` template through `.Params.affiliatelink` and `.Params.recommendedby`, respectively.
|
|
|
|
Two common situations where this type of front matter field could be introduced is as a value of a certain attribute like `href=""` or by itself to be displayed as text to the website's visitors.
|
|
|
|
{{< code file="/themes/yourtheme/layouts/review/single.html" >}}
|
|
<h3><a href={{ printf "%s" $.Params.affiliatelink }}>Buy this book</a></h3>
|
|
<p>It was recommended by {{ .Params.recommendedby }}.</p>
|
|
{{< /code >}}
|
|
|
|
This template would render as follows, assuming you've set [`uglyURLs`](/content-management/urls/) to `false` in your [site `config`](/getting-started/configuration/):
|
|
|
|
{{< output file="yourbaseurl/review/book01/index.html" >}}
|
|
<h3><a href="http://www.my-book-link.here">Buy this book</a></h3>
|
|
<p>It was recommended by my Mother.</p>
|
|
{{< /output >}}
|
|
|
|
{{% note %}}
|
|
See [Archetypes](/content-management/archetypes/) for consistency of `Params` across pieces of content.
|
|
{{% /note %}}
|
|
|
|
### The `.Param` Method
|
|
|
|
In Hugo, you can declare params in individual pages and globally for your entire website. A common use case is to have a general value for the site param and a more specific value for some of the pages (i.e., a header image):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{{ $.Param "header_image" }}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `.Param` method provides a way to resolve a single value according to it's definition in a page parameter (i.e. in the content's front matter) or a site parameter (i.e., in your `config`).
|
|
|
|
### Access Nested Fields in Front Matter
|
|
|
|
When front matter contains nested fields like the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
---
|
|
author:
|
|
given_name: John
|
|
family_name: Feminella
|
|
display_name: John Feminella
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
`.Param` can access these fields by concatenating the field names together with a dot:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{{ $.Param "author.display_name" }}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If your front matter contains a top-level key that is ambiguous with a nested key, as in the following case:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
---
|
|
favorites.flavor: vanilla
|
|
favorites:
|
|
flavor: chocolate
|
|
---
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The top-level key will be preferred. Therefore, the following method, when applied to the previous example, will print `vanilla` and not `chocolate`:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
{{ $.Param "favorites.flavor" }}
|
|
=> vanilla
|
|
```
