About return…

[hucste]

First, very good idea!

I read this topic:

Returning values from partials

The docs are a bit unclear to me. says: In order to return a value, a partial must include a lone return statement. A lone return statement is AFAIK: {{ return }} However the examples show {{ return $value }} (which makes more sense) The docs also say (emphasis mine): Only one return statement is allowed per partial file. This would imply that – you cannot have {{ if ... }}{{ return $this }}{{ else }}{{ return $that }}{{ end }} you cannot have multiple inline partials that ret…

But, I’ve one question:
It’s possible to call in other partial?

---

By instance, with this code:

{{* partial "return-description" *}}
{{ $desc := "" }}
{{ with .Description }}{{ $desc := printf `content=%q` . | safeHTMLAttr }}
{{ else }}
	{{ if .IsPage }}{{ $desc := printf `content=%q` .Summary | safeHTMLAttr }}
	{{ else }}
		{{ with .Site.Params.description }}{{ $desc := printf `content=%q` . | safeHTMLAttr }}{{ end }}
	{{ end }}
{{ end }}
{{ return $desc }}

Yes, you can nest partial calls.

markdown

Answer: {{< foo 6 >}}

layouts/shortcodes/foo.html

{{ partial "mul-7.html" (.Get 0) }}

layouts/partials/mul-7.html

{{ return (partial "div-21.html" (mul 7 .)) }}

layouts/partials/div-21.html

{{ return (div . 21) }}

rendered html

Ok, but into your example, you use shortcode.
and about template?

If I include the code on partial (showed on my first port), name “return-decription.html”, on partial “meta.html”, as:
<meta name="description" {{ with partial "return-description.html" . }}{{ $desc }}{{ end }}>

I’ve not any result.
What’s wrong?!

[jmooring]

Calling a partial from a template vs. calling a partial from a shortcode – no difference.

Partials return a value, not a variable. Additionally, with “rebinds the context ( . ) within its scope.”

So don’t do this:

{{ with partial "return-description.html" . }}{{ $desc }}{{ end }}

Do this:

{{ with partial "return-description.html" . }}{{ . }}{{ end }}

OK, you reassure me!

@jmooring

{{ with partial "return-description.html" . }}{{ . }}{{ end }}

empty!
<meta name="description" >

If I write:
<meta name="description" {{ return ( partial "return-description.html" . ) }}>

No code is displaying!

I can help you if share your repository.

Please post a link to the public repository for your site. See:
https://discourse.gohugo.io/t/requesting-help/9132

Include a link to the source code repository of your project, because we really need the context of seeing your templates and partials to be able to help you. It is trivial to do a quick git clone on your repo, then run hugo server in your project, to help you out. On the other hand, recreating your code from screenshots, or sort of guessing at it, is not.

If you can’t share your repository for whatever reason, consider creating a dummy repo that you can share, which reproduces the problem you’re experiencing.

See https://golang.org/pkg/text/template/#hdr-Variables. You are initializing variables instead of assigning value. Use := to initialize, and = to assign value. Initialize once, assign value as needed.
