Part 10 — Building reusable partials

Refactored repeated markup into partials to keep templates DRY.

What I extracted

  • partials/post-card.hbs
  • partials/site-header.hbs
  • partials/site-footer.hbs

Using them

{{> site-header}}
{{#foreach posts}}
  {{> post-card}}
{{/foreach}}
{{> site-footer}}

Passing data in

{{> post-card class="featured"}}
Every collection page in Creator now reuses one card. Fix it once, fixed everywhere.
