Document global variables (top-level `data:`)

[ad-si]

It would be cool if there was a field in the project.yml to define global variables. e.g.

global:
   site_url: example.org
   items_per_page: 10
rules:
  …

or is there already a way to accomplish this?

Matter of fact, there is - just define a data key at the top level of your project.yml. This is exactly the feature you're asking for. AFAIK, it's not really documented yet though.

On top of that, remember that the project file is just another YAML file ("YAYAMLF", if you will :P), so you can also use YAML references for things that need to be reused between routes (or between any other things, really - YAML references are resolved at the YAML AST level, before interpreting things as configurations).

The blogg example uses both techniques, so maybe take a look at that.

Ah, cool! The readme says "The most important (and currently only) key in that file is rules, a list of routing rules", that's why I thought there was no way.

Feel free to reopen this issue as "Add documentation about root data field" 😉

Your wish is my command!
