Given a `baseURL` set to `https://example.com/hugo/`: 22 23 ``` 24 {{ "mystyle.css" | absURL }} → "https://example.com/hugo/mystyle.css" 25 {{ "mystyle.css" | relURL }} → "/hugo/mystyle.css" 26 {{ "http://gohugo.io/" | relURL }} → "http://gohugo.io/" 27 {{ "http://gohugo.io/" | absURL }} → "http://gohugo.io/" 28 ``` 29 30 The last two examples may look strange but can be very useful. For example, the following shows how to use `absURL` in [JSON-LD structured data (SEO)][jsonld], where some of your images for a piece of content may or may not be hosted locally: 31 32 {{< code file="layouts/partials/schemaorg-metadata.html" download="schemaorg-metadata.html" >}} 33 <script type="application/ld+json"> 34 { 35 "@context" : "http://schema.org", 36 "@type" : "BlogPosting", 37 "image" : {{ apply .Params.images "absURL" "." }} 38 } 39 </script> 40 {{< /code >}} 41 42 The above uses the [apply function][] and also exposes how the Go template parser JSON-encodes objects inside `<script>` tags. See [the safeJS template function][safejs] for examples of how to tell Hugo not to escape strings inside of such tags. 43 44 {{% note "Ending Slash" %}} 45 `absURL` and `relURL` are smart about missing slashes, but they will *not* add a closing slash to a URL if it is not present. 46 {{% /note %}} 47 48 [apply function]: /functions/apply/ 49 [configuration]: /getting-started/configuration/ 50 [jsonld]: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data 51 [safejs]: /functions/safejs
