Code Example block

If you're using the VF Nunjucks environment, you can utilise the {% codeblock 'html' -%}{% endcodeblock %} tag to assist generating pre-formatted content.

Variants

<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>
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" : "block",
 }
%}
{% include "../path_to/vf-code-example/vf-code-example.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-code-example', {
  "component-type" : "block",}
%}
