hugo license helpers

Some license helpers if

  1. you may use different licenses for different page
  2. you don’t want to micromanage license URLs.

(simple way): specify license in page frontmatter:

And simply call {{.Params.license}} in your page footer partial. This is simple and versatile (you can type anything you want in this field). But there is no link to the license text.

with spdx data

  1. download the license data from spdx to e.g. /site/data/spdx.json

  2. have a template or shortcode that queries the data and parse a link shortcodes/spdx.html example

    {{- $id := .Get 0}}
    {{- $target:= dict}}
    {{- $spdxall := site.Data.spdx.licenses}}
    {{- range $spdxall}}
    {{- if (eq $id .licenseId)}}
    {{- $target = .}}
    {{- end}}
    {{- end}}
    
    {{- with $target.name}}
    <a href="{{$target.reference}}">{{$target.licenseId}}</a>
    {{- else}}
    {{- warnf "%s is not valid spdx license id, using default." $id}}
    <a href="/license">[license]</a>
    {{- end}}
    
  3. (e.g.) call from a post (remove the spaces..)

    {{ < spdx EUPL-1.2 > }}
