Page in snippet

A snippet is handed a page, and shows a field of page too. In a snippet, page is the page being built, so on a page listing posts, page.title is the list’s title every time, not the title of the post the call handed it.

What you’ll see

warning  Page in snippet: `card` shows `page.title`, the page being built
  Did you mean `post.title`?

In the terminal the message also names the file and line where there is one, and marks the exact text.

Why Statac warns

Sometimes a snippet means the page being built, such as marking the post that is being read. Statac can’t tell which you meant, so it builds the page as written and says so.

How to fix it

Read the field from the name the call hands the page by, as Statac offers. If the page being built is what you meant, quieten this warning with quiet: [page-in-snippet] in statac.yaml.

Example

In snippets/card.html, called as {{ card(post) }}:

<h2>{{ page.title }}</h2>

Show the post’s own title:

<h2>{{ post.title }}</h2>

Its name

Name	page-in-snippet
In the terminal	statac explain page-in-snippet
To stop showing it	quiet: [page-in-snippet] in statac.yaml, once you have understood it. Statac still counts it.
