hexo-helper-partial-page

Hexo helper plugin for including and rendering partial content.

This plugin adds 2 helpers: partial_page and partial_content.

partial_page is useful when you want to write contents on separate files and render them using respective theme templates. partial_page synchronously reads a given file in source folder, renders the file as a single page using partial helper, and outputs rendered HTML directly at the helper tag position.

partial_content is essentially same with partial_page but this helper does not render a page with partial helper. partial_content synchronously reads a given file in source folder, renders the file with matching renderer plugin, and outputs rendered HTML directly at the helper tag position.

See Usage section for more details.

Installation

$ npm install hexo-helper-partial-page --save

Usage

For example, put a source file with front-matter in source/_partials folder like this:

file: source/_partials/part.md

---
layout: partial
---
# H1
 
Some text
 
1. First ordered list item
1. Another item

Put a simple layout file in your theme's layout folder like this:

file: layout/partial.ejs

<div class="part-wrapper">
  <div class="part-content">
    <%- page.content %>
  </div>
</div>

Then, add partial_page tag in your EJS template:

<%- partial_page('_partials/part.md') %>

Yields:

<div class="part-wrapper">
  <div class="part-content">
    <h1 id="H1"><a href="#H1" class="headerlink" title="H1"></a>H1</h1><p>Some text</p>
<ol>
<li>First ordered list item</li>
<li>Another item</li>
</ol>
 
  </div>
</div>

Meanwhile, if you add partial_content tag in your EJS template:

<%- partial_content('_partials/part.md') %>

Yields:

<h1 id="H1"><a href="#H1" class="headerlink" title="H1"></a>H1</h1><p>Some text</p>
<ol>
<li>First ordered list item</li>
<li>Another item</li>
</ol>

Make sure to use <%- partial_page() %> and not <%= partial_page() %> to prevent EJS from escaping the generated string.

Local Variables & Fragment Caching

partial_page accepts 2nd and 3rd parameters same with partial helper.

You can define local variables by passing the 2nd parameter:

<%- partial_page('_partials/part.md', {title: 'Hello World'}) %>

You can enable fragment caching with the 3rd parameter:

<%- partial_page('_partials/part.md', {}, {cache: true}) %>

Configurations

partial_page can parse and render any files saved in the source folder. At the same time, you can put files in source/_partials/ folder, or source/deep/depth/folder/_partials/ folder for example.

Source files saved in the _partials folder are almost same with other source files except they will be removed from the route list and not generate particular HTML files.

You can change the name of _partials folder which has this feature adding partial_dir to _config.yml.

partial_dir: _partials
