Get Value

Grab an associative array value so you can filter and loop through it.

Usage

The first way to use this tag is to get an array value from another URL. This is essentially the single-tag version of wrapping some templating in a get_content tag.

title: Drinks
whisky:
  -
    brand: Lagavulin
    location: Scotland
    favorite: true
  -
    brand: Glenmorangie
    location: Scotland
  -
    brand: Jameson
    location: Ireland

{{ get_value:whisky from="/drinks" }}
  {{ brand }}
{{ /get_value:whisky }}

Lagavulin
Glenmorangie
Jameson

Additionally, you can filter the array by key/values. Here we’ll only show Scottish whisky:

{{ get_value:whisky from="/drinks" location="Scotland" }}
  {{ brand }}
{{ /get_value:whisky }}

Lagavulin
Glenmorangie

Lastly, we can filter by more than one field. Let’s only get the favorite Scottish whiskies:

{{ get_value:whisky from="/drinks" location="Scotland" favorite="true" }}
  {{ brand }}
{{ /get_value:whisky }}

Lagavulin

Delicious.
