FUNCTIONS TRANSFORM FUNCTIONS

transform.Remarshal

Marshals a string of serialized data, or a map, into a string of serialized data in the specified format.

Syntax

transform.Remarshal FORMAT INPUT

Returns

string

The format must be one of json, toml, yaml, or xml. If the input is a string of serialized data, it must be valid JSON, TOML, YAML, or XML.

This function is primarily a helper for Hugo’s documentation, used to convert configuration and front matter examples to JSON, TOML, and YAML.

This is not a general purpose converter, and may change without notice if required for Hugo’s documentation site.

Example 1
Convert a string of TOML to JSON.
{{ $s := `
  baseURL = 'https://example.org/'
  languageCode = 'en-US'
  title = 'ABC Widgets'
`}}
<pre>{{ transform.Remarshal "json" $s }}</pre>

Resulting HTML:

<pre>{
   &#34;baseURL&#34;: &#34;https://example.org/&#34;,
   &#34;languageCode&#34;: &#34;en-US&#34;,
   &#34;title&#34;: &#34;ABC Widgets&#34;
}
</pre>

Rendered in browser:

{
   "baseURL": "https://example.org/",
   "languageCode": "en-US",
   "title": "ABC Widgets"
}
Example 2
Convert a map to YAML.
{{ $m := dict
  "a" "Hugo rocks!"
  "b" (dict "question" "What is 6x7?" "answer" 42)
  "c" (slice "foo" "bar")
}}
<pre>{{ transform.Remarshal "yaml" $m }}</pre>

Resulting HTML:

<pre>a: Hugo rocks!
b:
  answer: 42
  question: What is 6x7?
c:
- foo
- bar
</pre>

Rendered in browser:

a: Hugo rocks!
b:
  answer: 42
  question: What is 6x7?
c:
- foo
- bar
