Templates: context

Blurry populates Jinja templates with context from multiple sources:

  1. blurry.toml configuration file, using blurry.schema_data (see blurry.toml for more information)
  2. Dynamic variables constructed by Blurry
  3. Front matter from Markdown files

The template context variables are:

Variable(s)Description
bodyan HTML string converted from Markdown
urlthe absolute URL for the given page
schema_type_taga <script type="application/ld+json"> tag containing Schema.org markup
open_graph_tagsOpen Graph meta tags, like <meta property="og:title" content="..." />
**schema_variablesfront matter from the Markdown file, like datePublished
schema_dataSchema data from blurry.toml
sibling_pagesfor index.md files, includes [{"url", **MarkdownFileData}] for files in the same directory
file_data_by_directoryall file data grouped by directory, like {"path", list[MarkdownFileData]}

Example: this page's context variables

Some of the context variable types are pretty complex, and a real-world example could be helpful to show what data they contain. Below are some context variables available to the template used in this very page.

schema_data

{"@context": "https://schema.org", "author": {"@type": "Person", "name": "John Franey", "url": "https://johnfraney.ca"}, "sourceOrganization": {"name": "Blurry"}, "@type": "WebPage", "name": "Templates: context", "abstract": "Documentation for Blurry's template context variables", "datePublished": null, "url": "https://blurry-docs.netlify.app/templates/context/"}
