How to access site blueprint field in block preview

Kirby 3 Solved ✅

I’m looking for a way to use a value entered in a text field in the site blueprint in a custom block preview. I assume you can’t access the site blueprint directly from a single file component?

I can get the field in the block blueprint with:

"{{ site.field }}"

But this seems to only work as a placeholder or as text in an info field and I don’t know how to call this in my block preview something like this this.content.field.text doesn’t work .

I would like to use the value in a hidden field and then call it in my block preview, any ideas how to do this?

Ok found it, with a hidden field the default can be used like this:

// blueprint

hidden:
  type: hidden
  default: "{{ site.fieldName }}"


// block preview:

this.content.hidden

Would be nice if the Hidden field shows some examples?

What exactly do you mean? The hidden field doesn’t really have any other options than the default value.

Well that’s a clear answer, great, thank you! It was not clear to me reading the reference:

notes:
  type: hidden

And that leaves me: :thinking:
But that’s probably just me, overthinking everything
Although:

notes:
  type: hidden
  default: only

Would have helped (me) …
