Refactoring code help

runhide · September 4, 2020, 9:42pm

In my front matter for personnel, I have the following:

[profiles]
  blog = "https://blog.com"
  linkedin = "person"
  twitter = "person"
  ...

Not all persons have complete profiles. For instance, a person may only have a twitter account. This causes problems with knowing where to put the ",".

This code works, but it’s not DRY. Any suggestions on how to refactor?

{{$profile := slice}}
{{with .Params.profiles.blog}}
  {{$profile = $profile | append .}}
{{end}}
{{with .Params.profiles.linkedin}}
  {{$profile = $profile | append (print "https://linkedin.com/company/" .)}}
{{end}}
{{with .Params.profiles.twitter}}
  {{$profile = $profile | append (print "https://twitter.com/" .)}}
{{end}}
...

{{range $i, $e := $profile}}{{if $i}},{{end}}{{. | jsonify}}{{end}}

Is this supposed to be a Schema.org sameAs?

I’ll leave this here as reference, anyway:

rmaguiar/hugo-theme-color-your-world/blob/master/layouts/partials/head.html#L322


      {{ with .Lastmod }}"dateModified": "{{ .Format "2006-01-02" | safeHTML }}",{{ end }}
      "wordCount" : "{{ .WordCount }}",
      "publisher": {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "{{ .Site.Params.author }}"
      },
      "author": {
        "@type": "Person",
        "name": "{{ .Site.Params.author }}",
        {{ with .Site.Params.authorDesc }}"description": {{ . }},{{ end }}
        {{ if gt (len $sameAs) 0 }}"sameAs": {{ $sameAs }}{{ end }}
      }
    }
  </script>
{{ else }}
  <script type="application/ld+json">
    {
      "@context": "https://schema.org",
      "@type": "WebSite",
      "url": "{{ .Site.BaseURL }}",
      "inLanguage": "{{ .Site.Language.Lang }}",

Social platforms are stored in a data file.

you can use delimit function.

{{ delimit $profile "," }}
