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 = {
"exampleMultiColumns" : "false",
"component-type" : "block",
"global_logo" : [object Object],
}
%}
{% include "../path_to/vf-global-header/vf-global-header.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-global-header', {
"exampleMultiColumns" : "false",
"component-type" : "block",
"global_logo" : [object Object],}
%}
<header class="vf-global-header">
<a href="/" class="vf-logo | vf-logo--has-text">

at your node_modules
directory and import it like this.
@import "@visual-framework/vf-global-header/index.scss";
Make sure you import Sass requirements along with the modules. You can use a project boilerplate or the vf-sass-starter

style functions to cleaner versionvf-stack
on the body.text
as you can make use of including text with the vf-logo
