Variants

Nunjucks syntax

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" : "element",
"apple_touch_icon" : "https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.5.0/assets/vf-favicon/assets/apple-touch-icon.png",
"icon_favicon" : "https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.5.0/assets/vf-favicon/assets/favicon.ico",
"icon_32" : "https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.5.0/assets/vf-favicon/assets/favicon-32x32.png",
"icon_16" : "https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.5.0/assets/vf-favicon/assets/favicon-16x16.png",
"manifest" : "https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.5.0/assets/vf-favicon/assets/site.webmanifest",
"icon_mask" : "https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.5.0/assets/vf-favicon/assets/safari-pinned-tab.svg",
"color_mask" : "#ffffff",
"color_msapplication" : "#ffffff",
"color_theme" : "#ffffff",
 }
%}
{% include "../path_to/vf-favicon/vf-favicon.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-favicon', {
  "component-type" : "element",
  "apple_touch_icon" : "https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.5.0/assets/vf-favicon/assets/apple-touch-icon.png",
  "icon_favicon" : "https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.5.0/assets/vf-favicon/assets/favicon.ico",
  "icon_32" : "https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.5.0/assets/vf-favicon/assets/favicon-32x32.png",
  "icon_16" : "https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.5.0/assets/vf-favicon/assets/favicon-16x16.png",
  "manifest" : "https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.5.0/assets/vf-favicon/assets/site.webmanifest",
  "icon_mask" : "https://assets.emblstatic.net/vf/v2.5.0/assets/vf-favicon/assets/safari-pinned-tab.svg",
  "color_mask" : "#ffffff",
  "color_msapplication" : "#ffffff",
  "color_theme" : "#ffffff",}
%}
