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