I'm trying to abstract some code and would like to take advantage of dust.helpers to render a parial.
My current setup:
{> "includes/components/link" /}
My ideal setup:
{@uiComponent name="link" /}
My helper:
dust.helpers.uiComponent = function (chunk, context, bodies, params) {
return dust.render('includes/components/' + name, context, function (err, out) {
chunk.end(out);
});
};
I have also tried a number of other things and nothing works.
And yes, I tried looking at the documentation. :(
Any advice would be much appreciated!
In Dust, helpers return Chunks, so you want to use Chunk methods to return out of your helper rather than dust.render
.
In this case, you are working with partials, so you want chunk.partial
:
dust.helpers.uiComponent = function (chunk, context, bodies, params) {
var name = context.resolve(params.name);
return chunk.partial('includes/components/' + name, context, params);
};
