Template

Type Array

Containing String asset identifiers available to pages with this template. Assets and asset identifiers are defined within the Template Config file i.e. you have full control over what assets are and what they can be used for.

Type Array | Boolean

By default this property has a Boolean value of true, meaning that pages with this template may contain any sub-page with the same controller. If set to false pages with this template may not have sub-pages. This property can contain an Array of template identifiers with the same controller. Note that children identifiers must have the same controller, so a "page" controller may not have a child document that is a "category". The value for this property is set within your Template Config file.

This property is available for the following controllers:

• page
• category

Note: category controller only currently supports a true value.

Type String

The identifier string for the current template.

Type String

The raw path as set within the config/templates.json file.
For example the homepage path may resemble ~/theme/page/home.evml

Type Number

Default value is zero - view all child pages. When greater than zero pages with this template will support pagination and filtering by tag, date, or author of child pages. 

This property is available for the following controllers:

• page
• category

Type Object

Contains properties defined with a "template" scope within the Template Config file.

The best way to visualise this is with an excerpt from config/templates.json settings file for a page with properties.

{ 
    ...
    "properties": [
        {
            "title": "Property 1",
            "id": "PROPERTY1",
            "scope": "template",
            "type": "text",
            "value": "VALUE 1 (DEFAULT)"
        }
    ]
    ...
}

...and then the resulting setting object:

The setting is {{ template.settings.PROPERTY1 }}
