r:partial

<r:partial />

Include a partial in your theme.

Attribute Options

name="name-of-partial" - The name of the partial to include.

Note: If you want to reference a partial with a different file extension than the one you're currently calling from, simply add the extension onto the end of the filename.

Example:

theme="theme-name" - This can be used to specify a partial from a different theme.

Example:

<r:partial name="layouts/masthead--v1" theme="Code" />

{% render %}

Include a partial in your theme. A partial is a file with code in it.

All partials must start with an underscore (eg: _my-file-name.html) to differentiate them from templates.

Attribute options

name: "name-of-partial" - The name of the partial to include. The path is always from the root views directory.

Note: If you want to reference a partial with a different file extension than the one you're currently calling from (probably .html), simply add the extension onto the end of the filename (eg: {% render "feed.json" %}).

Note 2: Shared partials in Liquid do not need a theme attribute. The system will automatically detect if a partial is a shared partial if it cannot find the partial from within your theme. If the partial does not exist within your theme, the system then looks for the partial in the themes you've specified in your theme's config.yml under the import_themes key.

Setting variables in a partial

Unlike in Radius, variables in Liquid do not exist in the global namespace. If you have a variable in a partial that you want to set, you must set that variable inline with where you're calling the partial:

{% render "custom-patterns/all-about-bears", bears: "We love bears!" %}

The partial above sets the bears variable ({{ bears }}) to We love bears!.

If you want to set multiple variables, separate each variable statement with a comma:

{% render "custom-patterns/all-about-bears", bears: "We love bears!", showBears: page.data.show_awesome_bears %}

The following will NOT work:

<!-- Doesn't (and will never) work: -->
{% assign bears = "We love bears!" %} ⤵ 🚫
{% render "custom-patterns/all-about-bears" %}

Examples:

For a partial named _footer.html:

{% render name: "footer" %}

This tag also doesn't require you to specify the name attribute. You will frequently see it omitted:

{% render "footer" %}

Calling _footer.html from inside views/custom-patterns:

{% render "custom-patterns/footer" %}

Setting a variable that exists in a partial via the render call:

{% render "my-partial-with-variables", birds: 120 %}
