{% component %}

The {% component %} tag will parse the default markup content for a CMS component and display it on the page. Not all components provide default markup, the documentation for the plugin will guide in the correct usage.

{% component "blogPosts" %}

This will render the component partial with a fixed name of default.htm and is essentially an alias for the following:

{% partial "blogPosts::default" %}

Variables

Some components support passing variables at render time:

{% component "blogPosts" postsPerPage="5" %}

Customizing components

In most cases the {% component %} tag is not needed and the markup is provided as a usage example for the component API. Components are intended to be customized, this can be done in two ways:

  1. Moving default markup to a partial
  2. Overriding component partials
