Mandatory for using variable tags in slate is that you change all .md
files to .md.erb
. You folder structure can look like:
source/
index.html.md.erb
includes/
_want-to-use-var.md.erb
Do not forget to change the include section in the index file. And yes, you can ignore the _
from the include file. Slate needs this only for parsing.
includes:
- want-to-use-var.md.erb
In config.rb
create yourself a new section e.g. Global Variables and add the following lines.
# Global Variables
set :endpoint, 'https://my.endpoint.com'
config[:endpoint]
You have now created a global variables which you can use in your files with the following tag
<%= config[:endpoint] %>
An example for using variables could look like this:
Hello you want to access <%= config[:endpoint] %> !
To access environment variables, ENV
can be used in config.rb
. For example for a environment variable called MY_VAR
:
set :my_var, ENV["MY_VAR"]
config[:my_var]
