METHODS MENU ENTRY METHODS

Params

Returns the params property of the given menu entry.

Syntax

MENUENTRY.Params

Returns

maps.Params

When you define menu entries in site configuration or in front matter, you can include a params key to attach additional information to the entry. For example:

hugo.
     
menus:
  main:
  - name: About
    pageRef: /about
    weight: 10
  - name: Contact
    pageRef: /contact
    weight: 20
  - name: Hugo
    params:
      rel: external
    url: https://gohugo.io
    weight: 30
[menus]
[[menus.main]]
    name = 'About'
    pageRef = '/about'
    weight = 10
[[menus.main]]
    name = 'Contact'
    pageRef = '/contact'
    weight = 20
[[menus.main]]
    name = 'Hugo'
    url = 'https://gohugo.io'
    weight = 30
    [menus.main.params]
      rel = 'external'
{
   "menus": {
      "main": [
         {
            "name": "About",
            "pageRef": "/about",
            "weight": 10
         },
         {
            "name": "Contact",
            "pageRef": "/contact",
            "weight": 20
         },
         {
            "name": "Hugo",
            "params": {
               "rel": "external"
            },
            "url": "https://gohugo.io",
            "weight": 30
         }
      ]
   }
}

With this template:

<ul>
  {{ range .Site.Menus.main }}
    <li>
      <a href="{{ .URL }}" {{ with .Params.rel }}rel="{{ . }}"{{ end }}>
        {{ .Name }}
      </a>
    </li>
  {{ end }}
</ul>

Hugo renders:

<ul>
  <li><a href="/about/">About</a></li>
  <li><a href="/contact/">Contact</a></li>
  <li><a href="https://gohugo.io" rel="external">Hugo</a></li>
</ul>

See the menu templates section for more information.
