  3. {% partial %}

The {% partial %} tag will parse a CMS partial and render the partial contents on the page. To display a partial called footer.htm, simply pass the name after the partial tag quoted as a string.

{% partial "footer" %}

A partial inside a subdirectory can be rendered in the same way.

{% partial "sidebar/menu" %}

Note: The Themes documentation has more details on subdirectory usage.

The partial name can also be a variable:

{% set tabName = "profile" %}
{% partial tabName %}

Variables

You can pass variables to partials by specifying them after the partial name:

{% partial "blog-posts" posts=posts %}

You can also assign new variables for use in the partial:

{% partial "location" city="Vancouver" country="Canada" %}

Inside the partial, variables can be accessed like any other markup variable:

<p>Country: {{ country }}, city: {{ city }}.</p>

Checking a partial exists

In any template you can check if a partial content exists by using the partial() function. This lets you to generate different markup depending on whether the partial exists or not. Example:

{% set cardPartial = 'my-cards/' ~ cardCode %}

{% if partial(cardPartial) %}
    {% partial cardPartial %}
{% else %}
    <p>Card not found!</p>
{% endif %}

Next: {% content %}

Previous: {% page %}
