jekyllliquidnested-includes

Passing parameters between nested includes

I want to be able to pass parameters from one include to another. However, Jekyll doesn't seem to like this.

index.md

{% include test-wrapper.html test-var='Foo' %}

test-wrapper.html

{% include test.html test-var={{ include.test-var }} %}

test.html

Got {{ test-var }}

Terminal output

$ bundle exec jekyll build --incremental --trace

Solution

  • test-wrapper.html

    {% include test.html test-var=include.test-var %}

    test.html

    Got {{ include.test-var }}
