Nunjucks syntax

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.

Using 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" : "block",
"heading" : "Follow us",
"social_accounts" : [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],
 }
%}
{% include "../path_to/vf-social-links/vf-social-links.njk" %}

Using 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-social-links', {
  "component-type" : "block",
  "heading" : "Follow us",
  "social_accounts" : [object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],}
%}
