I've set custom metadata for one of my posts, as per this doc. In this case, it is for describing magic spells. The metadata is as follows:
title: Magic Spell
tags: spell
date: 2023-01-16
isSpell: yes
magicWord: boo
Now, I want to have this custom metadata show up, only for posts where the isSpell: metadata is set to yes. So I've modified my entry.html template as follows
{{#entry}}
{{#metadata.isSpell}}
{{metadata.magicWord}}
{{/metadata.isSpell}}
{{{html}}}
{{/entry}}
But when I go to the corresponding post, I can't see the Magic Word. I've added ?debug=true to the URL and I can see the metadata in the JSON, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong here.
I might have sorted this. It seems that using camelCase metadata names causes them to not work. By using all lowercase, such as isspell and magicword, I can get it to work.
Good catch, Blot lowercases custom metadata keys before exposing them to template views. This was a poor decision I made a long time ago. I'll make sure the original case is also exposed, so you can use camelCase metadata keys
