Add .Site to archetypes templating #1629
Comments

No. And please use https://discuss.gohugo.io/ for questions. |
|
This is not a question, but a feature request, what's wrong with it? |
|
To me it looked very much like a question. |
|
I was just wondering if we could implement any templating on archetypes, it makes so much sense. Btw, #452 seems to be related as well. |

This commit removes the fragile front matter decoding, and takes the provided archetype file as-is and processes it as a template.
This also means that we no longer will attempt to fill in default values for `title` and `date`.
The upside is that it is now easy to create these values in a dynamic way:
```toml
+++
title = {{ .Name | title }}
date = {{ .Date }}
draft = true
+++
```
You can currently use all of Hugo's template funcs, but the data context is currently very shallow:
* `.Type` gives the archetype kind provided
* `.Name` gives the target file name without extension.
* `.Path` gives the target file name
* `.Date` gives the current time as RFC3339 formatted string
The above will probably be extended in gohugoio#1629.
Fixes gohugoio#452

This commit completes the "The Revival of the Archetypes!"
If `.Site` is used in the arcetype template, the site is built and added to the template context.
Note that this may be potentially time consuming for big sites.
A more complete example would then be for the section `newsletter` and the archetype file `archetypes/newsletter.md`:
```
---
title: "{{ replace .TranslationBaseName "-" " " | title }}"
date: {{ .Date }}
tags:
- x
categories:
- x
draft: true
---
<!--more-->
{{ range first 10 ( where .Site.RegularPages "Type" "cool" ) }}
* {{ .Title }}
{{ end }}
```
And then create a new post with:
```bash
hugo new newsletter/the-latest-cool.stuff.md
```
**Hot Tip:** If you set the `newContentEditor` configuration variable to an editor on your `PATH`, the newly created article will be opened.
The above _newsletter type archetype_ illustrates the possibilities: The full Hugo `.Site` and all of Hugo's template funcs can be used in the archetype file.

Aren't we able to template archetypes atm? For instance, in this way:
