Pass parameters to data-sly-include in sightly/HTL

I have a piece of Sightly/HTL code as follows - 

<div class="tooltip_modal">
  <div class="modal-content">
    <div class="modal-header">
      <span class="close">&times;</span>
      <h5>Tooltip</h5>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body">
      <p>${properties.tooltip_textfield}</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>

Please note that ${properties.tooltip_textfield} is hard coded into the code. I am including this code in my component like this - 

<div data-sly-include="/custom/tooltip-modal/tooltip-modal.html" data-sly-unwrap></div>

Now I want to pass a parameter to data-sly-include statement so that when my HTML code is rendered, the passed parameter should be placed in place of ${properties.tooltip_textfield} .

In other words -

Calling this 

<div data-sly-include="/custom/tooltip-modal/tooltip-modal.html" parameter= "Dummy Text" data-sly-unwrap></div>

Should render this -

<div class="tooltip_modal">
      <div class="modal-content">
        <div class="modal-header">
          <span class="close">&times;</span>
          <h5>Tooltip</h5>
        </div>
        <div class="modal-body">
          <p>Dummy Text</p>
        </div>
      </div>
    </div>

Is this possible? Thanks in Advance!

Solution

  • I believe what you're after is the Sightly Template and Call feature.

    templates/tooltip.html:

    <template data-sly-template.tooltip="${@ text}" class="tooltip_modal">
  <div class="modal-content">
    <div class="modal-header">
      <span class="close">&times;</span>
      <h5>Tooltip</h5>
    </div>
    <div class="modal-body">
      <p>${text}</p>
    </div>
  </div>
</template>

    component.html:

    <sly data-sly-use.tooltipTmpl="templates/tooltip.html"
data-sly-call="${tooltipTmpl.tooltip @ text='Sample text'}" data-sly-unwrap>
</sly>
