Discussion block

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",
"number" : 3,
"text" : "comments on 'EMBL's graphic design history'",
"discussions" : [object Object],[object Object],
 }
%}
{% include "../path_to/vf-discussion/vf-discussion.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-discussion', {
  "component-type" : "block",
  "number" : 3,
  "text" : "comments on 'EMBL's graphic design history'",
  "discussions" : [object Object],[object Object],}
%}

        <p>For me, any communications strategy should be deeply rooted in the organisational strategy. And yet, your closing question reminded me how the discussions we lead about communications can often result in much broader discussions on organisational goals, ambitions and approaches.</p>
