Global Data Files #

Your global data folder is controlled by the dir.data configuration option. All json files in this directory will be parsed into a global data object available to all templates.

If a data file is in a subdirectory, the subdirectory structure will inform your global data object structure. For example, consider _data/users/userList.json with the following data:

[
  "user1",
  "user2",
  "user3",
  …
]

This data will be available to your templates like so:

{
  users: {
    userList: [
      "user1",
      "user2",
      "user3",
      …
    ]
  }
}
