Merge creates a copy of the final MAP and merges any preceding MAP into it in reverse order. Key handling is case-insensitive.

An example merging two maps.

{{ $default_params := dict "color" "blue" "width" "50%" "height" "25%" "icon" "star" }}
{{ $user_params := dict "color" "red" "icon" "mail" "extra" (dict "duration" 2) }}
{{ $params := merge $default_params $user_params }}

Resulting $params:

"color": "red"
"extra":
  "duration": 2
"height": "25%"
"icon": "mail"
"width": "50%"

{{% note %}} Regardless of depth, merging only applies to maps. For slices, use [append]({{< ref "functions/append" >}}) {{% /note %}}
