{{< new-in "0.128.0" >}}
In some rare use cases, you may need to defer the execution of a template until after all sites and output formats have been rendered. One such example could be [TailwindCSS](/functions/css/tailwindcss/) using the output of [hugo_stats.json](/getting-started/configuration/#configure-build) to determine which classes and other HTML identifiers are being used in the final output:
```go-html-template
{{ with (templates.Defer (dict "key" "global")) }}
{{ $t := debug.Timer "tailwindcss" }}
{{ with resources.Get "css/styles.css" }}
{{ $opts := dict
"inlineImports" true
"optimize" hugo.IsProduction
}}
{{ with . | css.TailwindCSS $opts }}
{{ if hugo.IsDevelopment }}
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{{ .RelPermalink }}" />
{{ else }}
{{ with . | minify | fingerprint }}
<link
rel="stylesheet"
href="{{ .RelPermalink }}"
integrity="{{ .Data.Integrity }}"
crossorigin="anonymous" />
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ $t.Stop }}
{{ end }}
```
{{% note %}}
This function only works in combination with the `with` keyword.
{{% /note %}}
{{% note %}}
Variables defined on the outside are not visible on the inside and vice versa. To pass in data, use the `data` [option](#options).
{{% /note %}}
For the above to work well when running the server (or `hugo -w`), you want to have a configuration similar to this:
{{< code-toggle file=hugo >}}
[module]
[[module.mounts]]
source = "hugo_stats.json"
target = "assets/notwatching/hugo_stats.json"
disableWatch = true
[build.buildStats]
enable = true
[[build.cachebusters]]
source = "assets/notwatching/hugo_stats\\.json"
target = "styles\\.css"
[[build.cachebusters]]
source = "(postcss|tailwind)\\.config\\.js"
target = "css"
{{< /code-toggle >}}
## Options
The `templates.Defer` function takes a single argument, a map with the following optional keys:
key (`string`)
: The key to use for the deferred template. This will, combined with a hash of the template content, be used as a cache key. If this is not set, Hugo will execute the deferred template on every render. This is not what you want for shared resources like CSS and JavaScript.
data (`map`)
: Optional map to pass as data to the deferred template. This will be available in the deferred template as `.` or `$`.
```go-html-template
Language Outside: {{ site.Language.Lang }}
Page Outside: {{ .RelPermalink }}
I18n Outside: {{ i18n "hello" }}
{{ $data := (dict "page" . )}}
{{ with (templates.Defer (dict "data" $data )) }}
Language Inside: {{ site.Language.Lang }}
Page Inside: {{ .page.RelPermalink }}
I18n Inside: {{ i18n "hello" }}
{{ end }}
```
The [Output Format](/templates/output-formats/), [Site](/methods/page/site/), and [language](/methods/site/language) will be the same, even if the execution is deferred. In the example above, this means that the `site.Language.Lang` and `.RelPermalink` will be the same on the inside and the outside of the deferred template.
