# Partials Partials are reusable components within notification templates and like templates as a whole they can be passed an object of data and parse the variables in line to produce a notification. ## Partial template file Only one `.handlebars` file is needed when creating a partial. Within this file the code should follow `Handlebars.js` syntax, if you're not familiar you can find the [docs here](https://handlebarsjs.com/). Partials should be saved in the following format `partials//.handlers` e.g. `partials/html/header.handlebars` || `partials/txt/header.handlebars`. An example `header` partial is shown below: ```handlebars

To {{name}}

``` ## Consuming partials Partials can be pulled together into [layouts](./layouts.md) to reduce repetition and maintenance needed across templates. The following syntax is used to include a partial `{{> myCoolPartial }}`, and an example layout is shown below: ```handlebars Example template {{> examplePartial}} ``` ## Registering partials for specific notification providers In order to consume/utilise a layout it must be included under the `"partials"` property in a `.json` at the root of your template repository. See [providerJson.md](./providerJson.md) for details on this process.
