Global Variables

Create reusable variables for use everywhere.

Statamic parses any .yaml files that it finds in your _config directory and puts their contents into the list of global variables. These variables all become tags in your templates.

So for example, you could create a globals.yaml file, or break them up into groups with numerous .yaml files and organize them how you’d like.

Displaying Variables

Let’s say you have a globals.yaml file like this:

twitter_name: @statamic
support_email: help@example.com

In your templates, you can use these with appropriately-named tags:

Find us on Twitter at {{ twitter_name }}, or email us
at <a href="mailto:{{ support_email }}">{{ support_email }}</a>

Any variable you create in any of your _config folder’s .yaml files will become a tag available for use (even all of your site settings).
