after

Syntax

after INDEX COLLECTION

The following shows after being used in conjunction with the slice function:

{{ $data := slice "one" "two" "three" "four" }}
{{ range after 2 $data }}
    {{ . }}
{{ end }}
→ ["three", "four"]

Example of after with first: 2nd–4th Most Recent Articles

You can use after in combination with the first function and Hugo’s powerful sorting methods. Let’s assume you have a list page at example.com/articles. You have 10 articles, but you want your templating for the list/section page to show only two rows:

1. The top row is titled “Featured” and shows only the most recently published article (i.e. by publishdate in the content files’ front matter).
2. The second row is titled “Recent Articles” and shows only the 2nd- to 4th-most recently published articles.

{{ define "main" }}
<section class="row featured-article">
    <h2>Featured Article</h2>
    {{ range first 1 .Data.Pages.ByPublishDate.Reverse }}
     <header>
        <h3><a href="{{.Permalink}}">{{.Title}}</a></h3>
    </header>
    <p>{{.Description}}</p>
    {{ end }}
</section>
<div class="row recent-articles">
    <h2>Recent Articles</h2>
    {{ range first 3 (after 1 .Data.Pages.ByPublishDate.Reverse) }}
        <section class="recent-article">
            <header>
                <h3><a href="{{.Permalink}}">{{.Title}}</a></h3>
            </header>
            <p>{{.Description}}</p>
        </section>
    {{ end }}
</div>
{{ end }}
