EJS Partials - vijayetar/seattle-301d55 GitHub Wiki

Partials come in handy when you want to reuse the same HTML across multiple views. Think of partials as functions, they make large websites easier to maintain as you don’t have to go and change a piece of text in every page it appears in. Instead, you define that reusable bundle of code in a file andinclude it wherever you need it.

<div class="header clearfix">
    <nav>
        <ul class="nav nav-pills pull-right">
            <li role="presentation"><a href="/">Home</a></li>
        </ul>
        <h3 class="text-muted">Node.js Blog</h3>
    </nav>
</div>

And it would be cool to do the footer.ejs

<footer class="footer">
    <p>© 90210 Lawyer Stuff.</p>
</footer>

To include the partials: You use <%- include( PARTIAL_FILE ) %> where the partial file is relative to the template you use it in.
