How to dynamically assign _data variable?
I'm using staticman to enable comments on my blog. It puts the comments in the _data
folder. My folder structure then looks like this:
_data/
comments/
blog-post-1/
entry1542891129928.yml
...
blog-post-2/
entry1542891129928.yml
...
...
In my _layouts/post.html
I want to access comments for a specific blog. This is the code that I expect to work to get to the comments:
{% assign comments = site.data.comments[page.slug] | sort %}
But when I run build, I get the following error:
Liquid Exception: Liquid error (line 39): Cannot sort a null object. in /_layouts/post.html
It seems to be something to do with page.slug
because if I replace it with the string 'blog-post-1' it works.
How to get the post slug dynamically in post.html?

Solved the problem!
The issue is when the folder does not exist. I circumvent this by moving the sort filter:
{% assign comments = site.data.comments[page.slug] %}
{% if comments %}
{% assign comments = comments | sort %}
...do things...
{% endif %}
Now the build doesn't fail.
