Placeholders

Placeholders can be used in content type fields or templates. The placeholders allow you to automatically fill in values when creating a new content.

There are known placeholders from Front Matter:

• {{title}}: Title of the page
• {{slug}}: Slug of the page
• {{now}}: Current date formatted with the value defined in frontMatter.taxonomy.dateFormat or ISO string
• {{year}}: Current year
• {{month}}: Current month
• {{day}}: Current day

You can define you own placeholders within the frontMatter.content.placeholders setting.

For instance, you can define a custom permalink placeholder as follows:

To use the permalink placeholder, you need to define the {{permalink}} value in your content type or template.

In the custom placeholders, you can also use the known placeholders from Front Matter, so that they are more dynamic to your content.
