| # Variables | |
| Variables are short strings of reusable text. | |
| The YAML files in this directory each contain multiple variables. | |
| The *path*, *filename*, and *keys* within each YAML file determine what its path will be in the data object. | |
| For example, given a file `data/variables/foo/bar.yml`: | |
| ```yaml | |
| # multiple short strings in one file | |
| meaning_of_life: 42 | |
| # and they can be nested if needed | |
| nested: | |
| values: | |
| too: Yes! | |
| ``` | |
| Its values would be accessible as: | |
| ``` | |
| {% data foo.bar.meaning_of_life %} | |
| {% data foo.bar.nested.values.too %} | |
| ``` | |
