Adding templates and partials


To show the home template in the app, we need to open index.html, which we created earlier, and perform the following steps:

  1. We replace Hello World with the following template inclusion helper:

    {{> layout}}
  2. If we go back to our browser now, we see that the text is gone and the layout template, which we created earlier, has appeared with its header and menu.

  3. To complete the page, we need to show the home template in the layout template. We do this by simply adding another template inclusion helper to the main section of the layout template in our layout.html file, as follows:

    <main>
      {{> home}}
    </main>
  4. If we go back to the browser, we should see the following screenshot:

If we would now switch {{> home}} for {{> about}}, we would see our about template instead.
