Using variable in a macro

Hi,

I want to use a macro in a layout, that renders a link list. I then want to pass a variable to that macro in every template that extends that layout, in order to add a class of “active” to one of the list links.

To do this, I have a nunjucks file with this code, which extends a layout and sets the variable:

{% extends "layout.nunjucks" %}
{% set activePage = "actualitat" %}

I’d like to use the value of the variable activeMenu in my layout.nunjucks file, where there’s this code, which doesn’t work:

{% import 'macros/navigation.nunjucks' as nav %}
{{nav.active({{ activePage }})}}

The macro I’m importing is:

{% macro active(activePage='home') %}
  <ul class="menu">
    <li><a href="/" class="{%if activePage == 'home' %}active{% endif %}">Home</a</li>
    <li><a href="/actualitat/" class="{%if activePage == 'actualitat' %}active{% endif %}">Actualitat</a></li>
    <li><a href="/estils/" class="{%if activePage == 'estils' %}active{% endif %}">Estils</a></li>
    <li><a href="/contacte/" class="{%if activePage == 'contacte' %}active{% endif %}">Contacte</a></li>
</ul>
{% endmacro %}

How should I pass the value of the variable to the macro, so I have my link list with the class “active” added to the link I want?

Thanks.

Just added the includeFile function/macro at the top of my comment. I’m not exactly sure how to do that in the template; can you give an example?
