Converts the path into a string appropriate for use as a link, overriding one or more settings from the configuration.

Namespace: Statiq.Common
Containing Type: IExecutionStateGetLinkExtensions

Syntax

public static string GetLink(this IExecutionState executionState, in NormalizedPath path, string host, in NormalizedPath root, bool useHttps, bool hideIndexPages, bool hideExtensions, bool lowercase, bool makeAbsolute, bool hiddenPageTrailingSlash)

Parameters

Name	Type	Description
executionState	IExecutionState	The execution state.
path	NormalizedPath	The path to generate a link for.
host	string	The host to use for the link.
root	NormalizedPath	The root of the link. The value of this parameter is prepended to the path.
useHttps	bool	If set to `true`, HTTPS will be used as the scheme for the link.
hideIndexPages	bool	If set to `true`, index files will be hidden.
hideExtensions	bool	If set to `true`, extensions will be hidden.
lowercase	bool	If set to `true`, links will be rendered in all lowercase.
makeAbsolute	bool	If path is relative, setting this to `true` (the default value) will assume the path relative from the root of the site and make it absolute by prepending a slash and root to the path. Otherwise, `false` will leave relative paths as relative and won't prepend a slash (but host, useHttps, and root will have no effect). If path is absolute, this value has no effect and host, useHttps, and root will be applied as appropriate.
hiddenPageTrailingSlash	bool	Indicates that a trailing slash should be appended when hiding a page due to hideIndexPages. Setting to `false` means that hiding a page will result in the parent path without a trailing slash.

Return Value

Type	Description
string	A string representation of the path suitable for a web link with the specified root and hidden file name or extension.
