How to pass some "active content" (or callback function) to partials?

[cagix]

I'd like to pass something like (actually defined as partial)

{{ $quizzes := .Params.quizzes }}

<ul>
{{ range $quizzes }}
    {{ $name := index . "name" }}
    {{ $link := index . "link" }}
    <li><a href="{{- $link -}}">{{- default $link $name -}}</a></li>
{{ end }}
</ul>

as content parameter to your partial shortcodes/notice.html. Is there any way to achieve something like this?

Sure. Basically:

{{ $c := "<strong>blub <span style='color:red;'>red</span></strong>"}}
{{ partial "shortcodes/notice.html" (dict
"context" .
"style" "primary"
"title" "Hot shit"
"icon" "skull-crossbones"
"content" $c
)}}

Replace the $c := ... part with

{{ $quizzes := .Params.quizzes }}
$c := "<ul>"
{{ range $quizzes }}
    {{ $name := index . "name" }}
    {{ $link := index . "link" }}
    $c = printf "%s%s" $c "<li><a href=\"" + $link "\">" + (default $link $name) + "</a></li>"
{{ end }}
$c = printf "%s%s" $c "</ul>"

I haven't tested the code and hope there are no typos.

thanks for the idea! couldn't wrap my head around the print function ...

just for the sake of completeness: had to wrap all lines in {{ ... }} and to rewrite the main print part, as + doesn't seem to concatenate strings? also removed escaping of " by using ' to improve readability (although not entirely sure that's a good move).

so here's the working example:

{{ $quizzes := .Params.quizzes }}
{{ $c := "<ul>" }}
{{ range $quizzes }}
    {{ $name := index . "name" }}
    {{ $link := index . "link" }}
    {{ $c = printf "%s <li><a href='%s'>%s</a></li>" $c ($link | safeURL) (default $link $name) }}
{{ end }}
{{ $c = printf "%s%s" $c "</ul>" }}

{{ partial "shortcodes/notice.html" (dict
"context" .
"style" "tip"
"title" "Quizzes"
"content" $c
)}}

Yeah, my fault. I knew I mess up if I don't test it ;-)

Sadly not. You always have to use printf

" by using ' to improve readability (although not entirely sure that's a good move)

That's totally fine. It's just my personal preference to stay with one style in the whole project for consistency reasons.
