Article Meta Information block

Depending on your environment you'll want to use render or include. As a rule of thumb: server-side use include, precompiled browser use render. If you're using vf-eleventy you should use include.

Using include

You'll need to pass a context object from your code or Yaml file (example), as well as the path to the Nunjucks template. Nunjucks' include is an abstraction of render and provides some additional portability.

{% set context fromYourYamlFile %}
- or -
{% set context = {
  "component-type": "block",
  "author__name": "First-Name Surname",
  "author__avatar": "https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/925197?s=88&v=4",
  "meta__topics": [
    "cancer",
    "history"
  ],
  "meta__date": "14 February 2019",
  "meta__comment_count": 61,
  "meta__links_title": "On this page",
  "meta__links": [
    {
      "text": "heading link 1",
      "url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
    },
    {
      "text": "heading link 2",
      "url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
    },
    {
      "text": "heading link 3",
      "url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
    },
    {
      "text": "heading link 4",
      "url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
    },
    {
      "text": "heading link 5",
      "url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
    },
    {
      "text": "heading link 6",
      "url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
    }
  ],
  "meta__url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
}
 %}
{% include "../path_to/vf-article-meta-information/vf-article-meta-information.njk" %}
                

Using render

This approach is best for bare-bones Nunjucks environments, such as precompiled templates with the Nunjucks slim runtime where include is not be available.

{% render '@vf-article-meta-information', {
  "component-type": "block",
  "author__name": "First-Name Surname",
  "author__avatar": "https://avatars3.githubusercontent.com/u/925197?s=88&v=4",
  "meta__topics": [
    "cancer",
    "history"
  ],
  "meta__date": "14 February 2019",
  "meta__comment_count": 61,
  "meta__links_title": "On this page",
  "meta__links": [
    {
      "text": "heading link 1",
      "url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
    },
    {
      "text": "heading link 2",
      "url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
    },
    {
      "text": "heading link 3",
      "url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
    },
    {
      "text": "heading link 4",
      "url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
    },
    {
      "text": "heading link 5",
      "url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
    },
    {
      "text": "heading link 6",
      "url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
    }
  ],
  "meta__url": "JavaScript:Void(0);"
} %}
