PAGE.Data

page.Data

The Data method on a Page object returns a unique data object for each page kind.

The examples that follow are based on this site configuration:

taxonomies:
  author: authors
  genre: genres

[taxonomies]
  author = 'authors'
  genre = 'genres'

{
   "taxonomies": {
      "author": "authors",
      "genre": "genres"
   }
}

And this content structure:

content/
├── books/
│   ├── and-then-there-were-none.md --> genres: suspense
│   ├── death-on-the-nile.md        --> genres: suspense
│   └── jamaica-inn.md              --> genres: suspense, romance
│   └── pride-and-prejudice.md      --> genres: romance
└── _index.md
