Layouts are commonly used with client-side templates as a quick way to "wrap" a number of pages with commonly used page "sections", such as the head, footer or navigation.
Type: String|False|None (optional) Default: undefined
Path to the layout to be used for the current target. Layouts are optional and may be defined at the task and/or target level. Unlike Jekyll, Assemble requires a file extension since you are not limited to using a single file type.
assemble: {
options: {
layout: 'path/to/layouts/default.hbs'
}
}Oftentimes you will need more than one layout for your project, so layouts can be defined using the options.layout variable at the task or target-level, or they can be specified at the page-level by adding a layout property
to the
YFM.
{{> body }} tagAlthough layouts are optional, the {{> body }} tag is required for content to be pulled into a layout.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{{title}}</title>
</head>
<body>
<!-- the body tag is used to "pull in" content from pages -->
{{> body }}
