Support Jekyll-like includes: {% include {{ page.my_variable }} %}

{% include prefix/{{ page.my_variable }}/suffix %}

Just like it’s included in Jekyll: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/includes/#using-variables-names-for-the-include-file

It’s basically an improved and more flexible version of dynamic partials.

I tried working this limitation around in fs.readFile(path) interface, but unfortunately, the spec is too limited. The only argument passed is prefix/{{ page.my_variable }}/suffix. Liquid context is lost, so I cannot run this string through the Liquid engine again for processing to read the correct file.

If the spec of fs is modified to fs.readFile(path, context) or there’s this.liquidContext, it would make my use case trivial to implement in fs, unless you want to make Jekyll-like dynamic includes an official part of Liquidjs.

@harttle Implementation & docs are perfect, thank you! Thanks a lot! I’ll promptly update and remove our readFile hackery 😃

In the meantime, my project - rendering Jekyll sites in Gatsby - is moving forward! We have almost everything implemented already… Very exciting.

I can try make this happen. If there’s no perf regression I think we can ship an updated include. Otherwise, extending include would be better compared to rendering templates in FS.
