Get page metadata from base.html

Support
1

Hi guys.

  • I have a nav.html which is included in my base.html
  • I want nav.html to get extra.banner from the current page

problem:
nav.html and base.html don’t have access to page

the end goal:
I want the layout and style of my nav.html to change based on if the current page has a banner set or not.

if page then if page.extra.banner?

this doesn’t fix the actual problem. Maybe I explained it badly.
I want to know the value of banner from the current page I’m on, from within nav.html because I want to change the style of my navigation bar for the pages that have a banner.

The problem is I can’t even check if a page has a banner or not. because nav.html doesn’t have access to the page variable.

Oh God nevermind!
This actually fixes the issue. I understand now the error was because the home page. doesn’t have page variable. so I have to first check if the page variable even exists.

the current working code in nav.html

{% if page.extra.banner or current_path == "/" %}
    {% set header_class = "header--banner" %}
{% else %}
    {% set header_class = "header" %}
{% endif %}

<header class={{header_class}}>

Thank you so much for the tip. my brain was fried.
