Render partial via config variable

I was hoping to use some config data (YAML) to dynamically specify another partial to render/include.

Handlebars’ documentation suggests this is possible, like so:

{{> (lookup . 'myVariable') }}

See: http://handlebarsjs.com/partials.html

This however results in The partial could not be found.

I also found #195 and #239 regarding this.

I tried using the ‘workaround’ specified here but no luck: https://github.com/frctl/fractal/issues/239#issue-223851818

Is this possible?

Hi @iamkeir

This is definitely possible:

1. Define the template name in your config data (note the double backslash, this escapes the component name and so prevents Fractal trying to inject context data):

context: {
  inputTemplate: '\\@input-pair'
}

1. Render your dynamic partial in your .hbs file:

{{>(lookup . 'inputTemplate') }}

Let me know if this helps.

@flepp, @LeBenLeBen Another way to do it is to set your childTemplate like \\@card--zoom and render it like

{% render childTemplate, childContext %}
