site

The current site being targeted in the request.

It's a Statamic\Sites\Site object and can be used as a single tag or tag pair.

// config/statamic/sites.php

'sites' => [
    'default' => [
        'name' => 'My Statamic Site',
        'locale' => 'en_US',
        'url' => '/',
        'direction' => 'ltr',
        'attributes' => [
            'foo' => 'bar',
        ],
    ]
]

As a single tag, it will output the handle of the site:

{{ site }}

{{ $site }}

default

As a tag pair, you can access additional information:

{{ site }}
    {{ handle }}
    {{ name }}
    {{ locale }}
    {{ short_locale }}
    {{ url }}
    {{ permalink }}
    {{ direction }}
    {{ attributes }}
        {{ foo }}
    {{ /attributes }}
{{ /site }}

{{ $site->handle }}
{{ $site->name }}
{{ $site->locale }}
{{ $site->short_locale }}
{{ $site->url }}
{{ $site->permalink }}
{{ $site->direction }}

{{ $site->attributes['foo'] }}

default
My Statamic Site
en_US
en
/
http://mysite.com/
ltr
bar

You can also access those variables directly as single tags:

{{ site:name }}
{{ site:attributes:foo }}

{{ $site->name }}
{{ $site->attributes['foo'] }}

My Statamic Site
bar

The attribute() Helper#

When using Blade, accessing an attribute that doesn't exist via $site->attributes['key'] will throw an "Undefined array key" exception. The attribute() method handles missing keys gracefully, supports dot notation for nested values, and lets you provide a fallback.

{{ $site->attribute('company_name') }}

{{-- Dot notation for nested attributes --}}
{{ $site->attribute('social.twitter') }}

{{-- Fallback value when the attribute is missing --}}
{{ $site->attribute('theme', 'standard') }}

Hot Tip!

In Antlers, missing keys are already null-safe, so {{site:attributes:company_name}} would work without the helper.
