The vf-form__select
allows a site visitor to pick an available option from a group of options.
The options inside of a vf-form__select
should be in alpabetical order.
You should try to use the vf-form__select
as a last resort for giving site visitors a choice to pick one thing from a group of things. If possible you should use a group vf-form__radio
inputs.
If the list of options is relatively small you should use a group of vf-form_radio
inputs.
Depending on your environment you'll want to use render
or include
. As a rule of thumb: server-side use include
, precompiled browser use render
. If you're using vf-eleventy you should use include
.
include
You'll need to pass a context object from your code or Yaml file (example), as well as the path to the Nunjucks template. Nunjucks' include
is an abstraction of render
and provides some additional portability.
{% set context fromYourYamlFile %}
- or -
{% set context = {
"component-type" : "form",
}
%}
{% include "../path_to/vf-form__select/vf-form__select.njk" %}
render
This approach is best for bare-bones Nunjucks environments, such as precompiled templates with the Nunjucks slim runtime where include
is not be available.
{% render '@vf-form__select', {
"component-type" : "form",}
%}
