In addition to the [single content template](/templates/content/), Hugo can render alternative views of
|
||
your content. These are especially useful in [list templates](/templates/list).
|
||
|
||
For example you may want content of every type to be shown on the
|
||
homepage, but only a summary view of it there. Perhaps on a taxonomy
|
||
list page you would only want a bulleted list of your content. Views
|
||
make this very straightforward by delegating the rendering of each
|
||
different type of content to the content itself.
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Creating a content view
|
||
|
||
To create a new view simple create a template in each of your different
|
||
content type directories with the view name. In the following example we
|
||
have created a "li" view and a "summary" view for our two content types
|
||
of post and project. As you can see these sit next to the [single
|
||
content view](/templates/content) template "single.html". You can even
|
||
provide a specific view for a given type and continue to use the
|
||
\_default/single.html for the primary view.
|
||
|
||
▾ layouts/
|
||
▾ post/
|
||
li.html
|
||
single.html
|
||
summary.html
|
||
▾ project/
|
||
li.html
|
||
single.html
|
||
summary.html
|
||
|
||
Hugo also has support for a default content template to be used in the event
|
||
that a specific template has not been provided for that type. The default type
|
||
works the same as the other types but the directory must be called "_default".
|
||
Content views can also be defined in the "_default" directory.
|
||
|
||
|
||
▾ layouts/
|
||
▾ _default/
|
||
li.html
|
||
single.html
|
||
summary.html
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Which Template will be rendered?
|
||
Hugo uses a set of rules to figure out which template to use when
|
||
rendering a specific page.
|
||
|
||
Hugo will use the following prioritized list. If a file isn’t present
|
||
than the next one in the list will be used. This enables you to craft
|
||
specific layouts when you want to without creating more templates
|
||
then necessary. For most sites only the \_default file at the end of
|
||
the list will be needed.
|
||
|
||
* /layouts/`TYPE`/`VIEW`.html
|
||
* /layouts/\_default/`VIEW`.html
|
||
* /themes/`THEME`/layouts/`TYPE`/`VIEW`.html
|
||
* /themes/`THEME`/layouts/\_default/`view`.html
|
||
|
||
|
||
## Example using views
|
||
|
||
### rendering view inside of a list
|
||
|
||
Using the summary view (defined below) inside of a ([list
|
||
templates](/templates/list)).
|
||
|
||
<section id="main">
|
||
<div>
|
||
<h1 id="title">{{ .Title }}</h1>
|
||
{{ range .Data.Pages }}
|
||
{{ .Render "summary"}}
|
||
{{ end }}
|
||
</div>
|
||
</section>
|
||
|
||
In the above example you will notice that we have called .Render and passed in
|
||
which view to render the content with. Render is a special function available on
|
||
a content which tells the content to render itself with the provided view template.
|
||
In this example we are not using the li view. To use this we would
|
||
change the render line to `{{ .Render "li" }}`.
|
||
|
||
|
||
### li.html
|
||
|
||
Hugo will pass the entire page object to the view template. See [page
|
||
variables](/templates/variables) for a complete list.
|
||
|
||
This content template is used for [spf13.com](http://spf13.com).
|
||
|
||
<li>
|
||
<a href="{{ .Permalink }}">{{ .Title }}</a>
|
||
<div class="meta">{{ .Date.Format "Mon, Jan 2, 2006" }}</div>
|
||
</li>
|
||
|
||
### summary.html
|
||
|
||
Hugo will pass the entire page object to the view template. See [page
|
||
variables](/templates/variables) for a complete list.
|
||
|
||
This content template is used for [spf13.com](http://spf13.com).
