Include a svg file from static folder to a template

support
1

Hi,
I want to inlcude/import a svg-file from static folder in to a template(navbar), so that the code looks cleaner. It is working, when the svg-code is in the template, but they are so big/large.

At the moment I have got the svg-files in the partial folder and include it from there, but I want to access them from the static folder.

My navbar want to include it here:

<nav>
  <!-- Logo and Brand -->
  <div class="logo-brand-wrapper">
    <a href="{{ .Site.BaseURL | relLangURL }}">
        {{ partial "logo.html" . }} ---> want inlcude from static
    </a>
    <h1 id="brand-headline">
      <a class="navbar-brand" href="{{ .Site.BaseURL | relLangURL }}">
          <span class="brand-name">Ketten</span>beil
      </a>
    </h1>

  <!-- Burger Menu -->
    <a href="#" id="burgerMenu" class="icon">
      {{ partial "burger-menu.html" . }} ---> want to include from static
    </a>
  </div>

  <!-- Top Navigation Menu -->
  <ul class="topnav" id="myTopnav">
    {{ range site.Menus.main }}
      <li class="nav-item">
        <a class="nav-link" href="{{ .URL }}">
          {{ partial "menu-arrow.html" . }} ---> want to include from static
          {{ .Name }}
        </a>
      </li>
    {{ end }}
  </ul>
</nav>

As I said, I do not want them include/import from partial.
And a second questions, why are the html comments not shown in the inspector/browser?

Thanks

Are you talking about the template code, or the published HTML?

about the template code :slight_smile:
If the svg is in the template code it is hard to read.

want them from the static folder, if it works.

Sorry, I don’t understand. This looks clean to me:

{{ partial "logo.html" . }}

this is in the {{ partial "logo.html" . }}

Dont want them in partial… is there no way to include them from the static folder?

I would do this:

assets/
└── images/
    └── svg/
        └── foo.svg

layouts/partials/svg.html

{{- $path := printf "images/svg/%s.svg" . }}
{{- with resources.Get $path }}
  {{ .Content | safeHTML }}
{{- else }}
  {{- errorf "The 'svg' partial was unable to find %s" $path }}
{{- end }}

The call it from a template like this:

{{ partial "svg.html" "foo" }}

Revised: cache it.

{{ partialCached "svg.html" "foo" }}

Shall I use this:

instead of this:

? :smiley:

Yes, use the first one.
