[hakyll] Newbie issue: How to use partials inside a markdown post?

[s***@vacationlabs.com]

Cross-posted from https://github.com/jaspervdj/hakyll/issues/486:

I'm just starting out with Hakyll and am working with the default site that
comes with hakyll init. I tried putting the following in
2015-08-12.spqr.markdown:


$partial("includes/DB.hs")$


It didn't work as expected - the post just showed the literal text
$partial("includes/DB.hs")$. It didn't pull in the content of includes/DB.hs into
the post. Then I tried adding the following to site.hs, but even this
didn't work:


match "includes/*" $ compile templateBodyCompiler


What am I missing?

Hello,

There are a few things you need to do.

1. Compile everything under includes as normal strings. This can be
done using just `getResourceBody`.

match "includes/*" $ compile getResourceBody

2. Make sure the posts context supports the `snippet` field (which is
better in this case than `partial`). This can be done by changing the
default `postCtx` to something like:

postCtx :: Context String
postCtx =
dateField "date" "%B %e, %Y" `mappend`
snippetField `mappend`
defaultContext

3. At this point, the posts don't really understand they need to be
rendered as templates. We can fix that by adding such a step. We
change the default compiler for posts into something like:

match "posts/*" $ do
route $ setExtension "html"
compile $ getResourceBody

= applyAsTemplate postCtx
= renderPandoc
= loadAndApplyTemplate "templates/post.html" postCtx
= loadAndApplyTemplate "templates/default.html" postCtx
= relativizeUrls

This also replaces the `pandocCompiler` by `getResourceBody >>=
renderPandoc`, since you (presumably) want to render the splices
before calling out to pandoc (because then `$` could turn into math
etc.)

Hope this helps,
Peace,
Jasper
