summary: A support system for loading site specific variables.

|
body:
|
|
|
|
The databag system is a simple support system in Lektor that allows a
|
|
Lektor website to load variables from simple key/value or JSON files.
|
|
This is primarily useful to load translations, API keys and similar
|
|
things that are needed in multiple templates.
|
|
|
|
From within templates you can use the [bag :ref](../templates/globals/bag/)
|
|
function to access databags.
|
|
|
|
## Supported Formats
|
|
|
|
Databags go into the `databags/` folder in your project. There are two
|
|
formats supported: key/value pairs as ini files as well as JSON files:
|
|
|
|
| Extension | Format
|
|
| --------- | --------
|
|
| `.json` | JSON
|
|
| `.ini` | INI Files with or without sections
|
|
|
|
## Navigating Bags
|
|
|
|
Dotted notation is used to navigate into data bags which are globally
|
|
merged together. This means that if you have a file named `i18n.ini`
|
|
with a section `[en]` and a key `CLICK_HERE` the path `i18n.en.CLICK_HERE`
|
|
will target that key. For JSON files further nesting is possible. You
|
|
can also just target a section and the return value will be a dictionary
|
|
which can for instance be used with the [tojson :ref](../templates/filters/tojson/)
|
|
filter.
|
|
|
|
## Example Databag
|
|
|
|
This is a basic example of a data bag that contains configuration values
|
|
for google maps. It's stored in `databags/gmaps.ini`:
|
|
|
|
```ini
|
|
key = 1233456ABCDEFG
|
|
api_url = https://www.google.com/maps/embed/v1/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This can then be used to good effect in templates:
|
|
|
|
```html+jinja
|
|
{% macro render_map(location, width=600, height=450) %}
|
|
<iframe
|
|
width="{{ width }}" height="{{ height }}"
|
|
frameborder="0" style="border:0"
|
|
src="{{ bag('gmaps.api_url') }}?q={{ location|urlencode
|
|
}}&key={{ bag('gmaps.key')|urlencode }}"
|
|
allowfullscreen></iframe>
|
|
{% endmacro %}
|
|
```
