Config

The Config method on a Site object provides access to a subset of the site configuration, specifically the services and privacy keys.

Services #

These are the default service settings, typically used by Hugo’s built-in templates and shortcodes.

services: null

{
   "services": null
}

For example, to use Hugo’s built-in Google Analytics template you must add a [Google tag ID]:

services:
  googleAnalytics:
    id: G-XXXXXXXXX

[services]
  [services.googleAnalytics]
    id = 'G-XXXXXXXXX'

{
   "services": {
      "googleAnalytics": {
         "id": "G-XXXXXXXXX"
      }
   }
}

To access this value from a template:

{{ .Site.Config.Services.GoogleAnalytics.ID }} → G-XXXXXXXXX

You must capitalize each identifier as shown above.

Privacy #

These are the default privacy settings, typically used by Hugo’s built-in templates and shortcodes:

privacy: null

{
   "privacy": null
}

For example, to disable usage of the built-in YouTube shortcode:

privacy:
  youtube:
    disable: true

[privacy]
  [privacy.youtube]
    disable = true

{
   "privacy": {
      "youtube": {
         "disable": true
      }
   }
}

To access this value from a template:

{{ .Site.Config.Privacy.YouTube.Disable }} → true

You must capitalize each identifier as shown above.
