collections.Dictionary
Syntax
collections.Dictionary KEY VALUE [VALUE...]
Returns
mapany
Alias
dict
{{ $m := dict "a" 1 "b" 2 }}
The above produces this data structure:
{
"a": 1,
"b": 2
}
Note that the key can be either a string or a string slice. The latter is useful to create a deeply nested structure, e.g.:
{{ $m := dict (slice "a" "b" "c") "value" }}
The above produces this data structure:
{
"a": {
"b": {
"c": "value"
}
}
}
Pass values to a partial template
The partial below creates an SVG and expects fill, height and width from the caller:

</svg>Partial call
The fill, height and width values can be stored in one object with dict and passed to the partial:
layouts/_default/list.html
{{ partial "svgs/external-links.svg" (dict "fill" "#01589B" "width" 10 "height" 20 ) }}
