Common page layouts and partials. Inherits from hmpo-govuk-template.

Installation

Setup

Install hogan-express-strict and express-partial-templates as part of your project.

var app = require('express')();

app.set('view engine', 'html');
app.use(require('hmpo-templates'));
app.engine('html', require('hogan-express-strict'));
app.use(require('express-partial-templates')(app));

Basic usage

my-page.html

{{< hmpo-layout}}
    {{$pageTitle}}...page title...{{/pageTitle}}

    {{$header}}
        <h1>...heading...</h1>
    {{/header}}

    {{$content}}
        <p>...intro content...</p>
        {{< hmpo-partials-form}}
            {{$form}}
                ...form inputs...
                ...form submit button...
            {{/form}}
        {{/ hmpo-partials-form}}
    {{/content}}
{{/ hmpo-layout}}

Templates

The templates are added to res.locals with hmpo as a prefix to the template names.

Layout:

• maincontent (sets maincontent-left as the default and provides a block to override)
• maincontent-left
• maincontent-right
• maincontent-full
• flash-card

Partials:

• analytics
• back-link
• back
• betatag
• body-end
• cookies
• form
• head
• new-window
• sidebar
• validation-summary

Changing a page layout

Create layout.html in your views directory.

{{< hmpo-layout}}
    {{$pageTitle}}...page title...{{/pageTitle}}

    {{$main-content}}
        {{< hmpo-partials-maincontent-right}}
            {{$header}}...heading...{{/header}}
            {{$content}}...content...{{/content}}
        {{/ hmpo-partials-maincontent-right}}
    {{/main-content}}
{{/ hmpo-layout}}

This changes the main page layout to maincontent-right. In your custom pages you can now inherit from layout.html.

Compatibility

Use with hmpo-template-mixins for form inputs and view formatters. When used with hmpo-form-wizard you'll get a validation summary appearing at the top of your page when a form error occurs.
