Filter data files

[vistad]

Basically I want to ask the same question that was asked, but not answered, in this thread:

Filter data files with a field

Continuing the discussion from Trying to filter data files based upon a date field: I tried practising Hugo’s range where with data files. # data/foo.yml name: Lucas parent: true # data/bar.yml name: John parent: false I would like to loop through entries where parent: true. From the linked discussion, I adapted @bep’s method without success. {{ range where .Site.Data "parent" "eq" "true" }} <p>name = {{ .name }}, parent = {{ .parent }}</p> {{ end }} How can I correct the loop? I’ve tried…

what’s the best way to

{{ range firstname, lastname where .Params.parent eq true }}

Thanks

Without seeing your front matter I would just be guessing.

With this front matter:

title: Something
params:
  people:
    - firstname: John
      lastname: Doe
      parent: true
    - firstname: Robert
      lastname: Smith

You can list “parents” with:

{{ range where .Params.people "parent" true }}
  Firstname = {{ .firstname }}
  Lastname = {{ .lastname }}
{{ end }}
