Placeholders
Placeholders can be used in content type fields or templates. The placeholders allow you to automatically fill in values when creating a new content.
There are known placeholders from Front Matter:
{{title}}
: Title of the page{{slug}}
: Slug of the page{{now}}
: Current date formatted with the value defined infrontMatter.taxonomy.dateFormat
or ISO string{{year}}
: Current year{{month}}
: Current month{{day}}
: Current day
You can define you own placeholders within the frontMatter.content.placeholders
setting.
For instance, you can define a custom permalink
placeholder as follows:
To use the permalink
placeholder, you need to define the {{permalink}}
value in your content type or template.
In the custom placeholders, you can also use the known placeholders from Front Matter, so that they are more dynamic to your content.
