Accessing snippet data

[Jonny Gwillim]

We set up a new snippet and populated it.

How do we then access that data on any given page, without associating every snippet with every page?

This is our app.js config:

'glossary': {
 

      extend: 'apostrophe-snippets',

      name: 'glossry',

      label: 'Glossary',

      instance: 'glossaryTerm',

      instanceLabel: 'Glossary Term',

      addFields: [

        {

          name: 'title',

          type: 'string',

          label: 'Term',

          def: 'e.g. API'

        },

        {

          name: 'definition',

          label: 'Definition',

          type: 'string',

          textarea: true

        }

      ],

      removeFields: [ 'thumbnail', 'hideTitle', 'body'],

      orderFields: [ 'title', 'definition', 'tags', 'slug', 'published'],

      enableExport: true

    }

Cheers!

Hmm. If you want this data on every page, it doesn't sound much like a snippet. You might consider using the apostrophe-preferences module, and using a schema field of type "array". This way it's in req.extras.preferences ("preferences" in nunjucks templates) on any page load.

If you want all of your glossary terms all the time this is more efficient.
