Creating a component library in Sculpin: Part 2

Earlier this week, I started writing a series of posts about how I'm building the component library section within my Sculpin website.

I showed how I created a new content type and layout, and created a simple "About me" component.

To avoid distractions, I wanted to make these pages as minimal as possible and remove parts of the page that are unrelated to the component being shown.

base.html.twig is my base layout that contains the HTML structure and some of the body element code that is re-usable for all content types.

This is also the template that the component content type uses.

To avoid duplication and a larger refactor, I decided to alter base.html.twig to hide the parts of the page that I didn't want to show.

This is how I'm hiding my page header on those pages:

{% if not (page.url matches "#^/component-library/#") %}

{% include 'logo.html.twig' %}

{% endif %}

I check if the URL contains /component-library/ and only include the code if this is not true for each page.

There is a larger refactor I could do by introducing another layout or additional Twig blocks, but this was the simplest solution to achieve what I wanted.
