Import

The import helper can be used to render templates; it is always an error if the template for an import cannot be found.

Arguments

• String|Path The template name or file path.

Example

This helper is useful when you have shared content for all the pages in a folder; for example you might want the same footer content for all the pages in a folder to add page related navigation.

First create a footer.hbs file in the folder and then each page can import it like this:

{{import "footer"}}

When importing files using a name the helper will walk the parent hierarchy to find the first template that matches the given name.

It is recommended to use a named template whenever possible but sometimes you may need to reference a template outside of the parent folder hierarchy. The import helper will also accept a path to the template but in this case you must specify the file extension:

{{import ../../docs/footer.hbs}}
