Build metadata

Every page can read facts about the build from sys.inputs.baudelaire: the version, the date, the mode, and, inside a git repository, the commit. Use it for a version stamp, a “last built” line, or a commit link in your footer.

#let build = sys.inputs.baudelaire
#build.version           // "0.1.0"  (Baudelaire's version)
#build.date              // "2026-07-09"
#build.mode              // "build" | "serve" | "check"
#build.git.hash          // full commit SHA (slice it for a short form)
#build.git.rev           // revision number (commit count), when available
#build.git.dirty         // uncommitted changes?
#build.site.title        // your configured site title

Inside a git repository git.hash and git.dirty are always set; git.rev, git.branch, git.tag, and git.committed appear only when git can supply them (so guard optional reads). The footer on this page is built from these values. The Typst compiler version comes from Typst itself, through the built-in sys.version.

Your own inputs

Anything under a typst.inputs block is exposed at sys.inputs, so you can thread site-wide constants into your pages:

typst {
  inputs {
    environment "production"
  }
}

#sys.inputs.environment  // "production"
