The `attachments` shortcode displays a list of files attached to a page with adjustable color, title and icon.

{{% attachments sort="asc" /%}}

{{% notice warning %}}
Since Hugo {{% badge color="fuchsia" icon="fab fa-hackerrank" title=" " %}}0.112.0{{% /badge %}} this only works for leaf bundles. Branch bundles and simple pages must be switched to leaf bundles or you are currently locked to a Hugo version < `0.112.0`.
{{% /notice %}}

## Usage

While the examples are using shortcodes with named parameter you are free to also call this shortcode from your own partials.

{{< tabs groupId="shortcode-parameter">}}
{{% tab title="shortcode" %}}

````go
{{%/* attachments sort="asc" /*/%}}
````

{{% /tab %}}
{{% tab title="partial" %}}

````go
{{ partial "shortcodes/attachments.html" (dict
  "context" .
  "sort" "asc"
)}}
````

{{% /tab %}}
{{< /tabs >}}

## Setup

### Single language

The shortcode lists files found in a specific folder. The name of the folder depends on your page type (either branch bundle, leaf bundle or page).

1. If your page is a leaf bundle, attachments must be placed in a nested `index.files` folder, accordingly.

    > * content
    >   * _index.md
    >   * page
    >     * _index.md
    >     * **_index.files**
    >       * attachment.pdf

2. If your page is a branch bundle, attachments must be placed in a nested `_index.files` folder, accordingly.

    {{% badge style="warning" title=" " %}}Warning{{% /badge %}} This is only available for Hugo < `0.112.0`

    > * content
    >   * _index.md
    >   * page
    >     * index.md
    >     * **index.files**
    >       * attachment.pdf

3. For simple pages, attachments must be placed in a folder named like your page and ending with `.files`.

    {{% badge style="warning" title=" " %}}Warning{{% /badge %}} This is only available for Hugo < `0.112.0`

    > * content
    >   * _index.md
    >   * **page.files**
    >     * attachment.pdf
    >   * page.md

### Multilingual

Be aware that if you use a multilingual website, you will need to have as many folders as languages and the language code must be part of the folder name.

Eg. for a site in English and Piratish:

  > * content
  >   * index.en.md
  >   * index.pir.md
  >   * page
  >     * index.en.md
  >     * index.pir.md
  >     * **index.en.files**
  >       * attachment.pdf
  >     * **index.pir.files**
  >       * attachment.pdf

## Examples

### Custom Title, List of Attachments Ending in pdf or mp4

````go
{{%/* attachments title="Related **files**" pattern=".*\.(pdf|mp4)" /*/%}}
````

{{% attachments title="Related **files**" pattern=".*\.(pdf|mp4)" /%}}

### Info Styled Box, Descending Sort Order

````go
{{%/* attachments style="info" sort="desc" /*/%}}
````

{{% attachments style="info" sort="desc" /%}}

### With User-Defined Color and Font Awesome Brand Icon

````go
{{%/* attachments color="fuchsia" icon="fab fa-hackerrank" /*/%}}
````

{{% attachments color="fuchsia" icon="fab fa-hackerrank" /%}}

### Style, Color, Title and Icons

For further examples for **style**, **color**, **title** and **icon**, see the [`notice` shortcode]({{% relref "shortcodes/notice" %}}) documentation. The parameter are working the same way for both shortcodes, besides having different defaults.
