Features -------- [](#features) - Pass variables into your template parts and access them via the `$this->vars` array. No polluting of globals! - Easy optional caching of template parts using transients. Minimum Requirements -------------------- [](#minimum-requirements) **PHP:** 7.0 **WordPress:** 4.4 Installation ------------ [](#installation) Extended Template Parts is a developer library, not a plugin, which means you need to include it somewhere in your own project. You can use Composer: ``` composer require johnbillion/extended-template-parts ``` Or you can download the library and include it manually: ``` require_once 'extended-template-parts/extended-template-parts.php'; ``` Basic Usage ----------- [](#basic-usage) The `get_extended_template_part()` function behaves exactly like [WordPress' `get_template_part()` function](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_template_part/), except it loads the template part from the `template-parts` subdirectory of the theme for better file organisation. The usual parent/child theme hierarchy is respected. ``` get_extended_template_part( 'foo', 'bar' ); ``` Use the `$vars` parameter to pass in an associative array of variables to the template part: ``` get_extended_template_part( 'foo', 'bar', [ 'my_variable' => 'Hello, world!', ] ); ``` In your `template-parts/foo-bar.php` template part file, you can access the variables that you passed in by using `$this->vars`: ``` echo esc_html( $this->vars['my_variable'] ); ``` Advanced Usage -------------- [](#advanced-usage) The `get_extended_template_part()` function also accepts a second optional parameter that controls the directory name and caching. The following code will load `foo-bar.php` from the `my-directory` subdirectory and automatically cache its output in a transient for one hour: ``` get_extended_template_part( 'foo', 'bar', [ 'my_variable' => 'Hello, world!', ], [ 'dir' => 'my-directory', 'cache' => 1 * HOUR_IN_SECONDS, ] ); ``` License: GPLv2 or later ----------------------- [](#license-gplv2-or-later) This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.
