urls.AbsURL

With multilingual configurations, use the urls.AbsLangURL function instead. The URL returned by this function depends on:

  • Whether the input begins with a slash
  • The baseURL in site configuration

Input does not begin with a slash​

If the input does not begin with a slash, the path in the resulting URL will be relative to the baseURL in your site configuration.

With baseURL = https://example.org/

{{ absURL "" }}          → https://example.org/
{{ absURL "articles" }}  → https://example.org/articles
{{ absURL "style.css" }} → https://example.org/style.css

With baseURL = https://example.org/docs/

{{ absURL "" }}          → https://example.org/docs/
{{ absURL "articles" }}  → https://example.org/docs/articles
{{ absURL "style.css" }} → https://example.org/docs/style.css

Input begins with a slash​

If the input begins with a slash, the path in the resulting URL will be relative to the protocol+host of the baseURL in your site configuration.

With baseURL = https://example.org/

{{ absURL "/" }}          → https://example.org/
{{ absURL "/articles" }}  → https://example.org/articles
{{ absURL "/style.css" }} → https://example.org/style.css

With baseURL = https://example.org/docs/

{{ absURL "/" }}          → https://example.org/
{{ absURL "/articles" }}  → https://example.org/articles
{{ absURL "/style.css" }} → https://example.org/style.css
