If you're using the VF Nunjucks environment, you can utilise the {% codeblock 'html' -%}{% endcodeblock %} tag to assist generating pre-formatted content.
<pre class="vf-code-example__pre">
<code class="vf-code-example">
<your special code here>
Maybe some html tags?
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://aurl">
<script src="https://aurl"></script>
</code>
</pre>
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
.
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"
}
%}
{% include "../path_to/vf-code-example/vf-code-example.njk" %}
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-code-example', {
"component-type": "block"
} %}
