Site Data

All data that is imported from the data folder is now scoped under {{ data.mykey }}. You will need to add data to all of your existing macros that you have in your templates. The reason for this change was to not conflict with any variables that you may want to create inside of your templates.

Page Data

Page data no longer gets merged with the site level data. Page data can be accessed through the page scope {{ page.mykey }}.

Environment Variables

The PROTON_ENV environment variable can be used to control template data for production vs development use. You can access this from your templates via {{ proton.environment }}. One use case for this would be to add analytics or embed code to the production build only.

{% if proton.environment == "production" %}
<script>
... insert analytics code here ...
</script>
{% endif %}

The default environment is development. You can pass a new environment to proton at run time.

$ PROTON_ENV=production proton build

New Twig filters

Here are examples of the new twig filters added.

// sort groups by keys
{% for group, teams in groups | ksort %}

// reverse sort groups by keys
{% for group, teams in groups | krsort %}

// get a count of items in groups
{% set count = groups | keys | count %}
