dict
Syntax
dict KEY VALUE [KEY VALUE]...
dict is especially useful for passing more than one value to a partial template.
Note that the key can be either a string or a string slice. The latter is useful to create a deply nested structure, e.g.:
{{ $m := dict (slice "a" "b" "c") "value" }}
Example: Using dict to pass multiple values to a partial
The partial below creates a SVG and expects fill, height and width from the caller:

Partial call
The fill, height and width values can be stored in one object with dict and passed to the partial:
layouts/_default/list.html
{{ partial "svgs/external-links.svg" (dict "fill" "#01589B" "width" 10 "height" 20 ) }}
