Templates
Template function reference for dynamic page content.
Overview
Page content is rendered as a Go template. This means you can use {{...}} syntax to insert dynamic data from your collections, pages, and site settings.
Query collections, fetch pages, and access site settings with built-in template functions.
Access typed field values from collection records using GetString, GetInt, and more.
Navigate page hierarchy with Path, Parent, Children, and Siblings methods.
The AI assistant validates templates before saving. If your template has a syntax error, it will catch it and suggest a fix.
