Hi all,
I have created a template for a custom button card. It’s working nicely, but I am struggling with how to use the variables I am passing in other parameters.
The template card has a variable set up for “item”. When I use the card, I would enter that variable. It’s working fine in the most basic form, but when I try to manipulate the string, it’s not liking it.
button_card_templates:
shopping_item:
variables:
item: not_set
label: '[[[ return variables.item]]]'
entity_picture: '/local/shopping/milk.avif'
So the above would show the milk image and show “milk” as the label for the button. I call it as follows:
- type: custom:button-card
template: shopping_item
variables:
item: milk
I need to use the variable item as a path. I’ve tried alsorts, but nothing seems to work! I also would like to use the string function (title) to capitalise the item. (keeping it lower case in the original call for the relevant filename).
#doesn't work
label: '{{ [[[ return variables.item]]] | title }}'
entity_picture: '/local/shopping/[[[ return variables.item ]]].avif'
I assume it’s something (hopefully) I am simply missing for formatting a variable within a string. I tried using the pipeline or >, but again I just had no luck!
