/templates/rss | /templates/views | Partial Templates | 80 |
In practice it's very convenient to split out common template portions into a partial template that can be included anywhere. As you create the rest of your templates you will include templates from the /layout/partials directory.
Partials are especially important for themes as it gives users an opportunity to overwrite just a small part of your theme, while maintaining future compatibility.
Theme developers may want to include a few partials with empty html files in the theme just so end users have an easy place to inject their customized content.
I've found it helpful to include a header and footer template in partials so I can include those in all the full page layouts. There is nothing special about header.html and footer.html other than they seem like good names to use for inclusion in your other templates.
▾ layouts/
▾ partials/
header.html
footer.html
By ensuring that we only reference variables used for both nodes and pages we can use the same partials for both.
Partial vs Template
Version v0.12 of Hugo introduced the partial call inside the template system.
This is a change to the way partials were handled previously inside the
template system. In earlier versions, Hugo didn’t treat partials specially and
you could include a partial template with the template call in the standard
template language.
With the addition of the theme system in v0.11 it became apparent that a theme & override aware partial was needed.
When using Hugo v0.12 and above please use the partial call (and leave out
the “partial/” path). The old approach will still work, but won’t benefit from
the ability to have users override the partial theme file with local layouts.
