<can-template name='NAME'/>

When building widget-like components, it's often useful to allow the consumer of the component to customize parts of the widget's layout. These components can accept templates passed to them using <can-template> and render these templates with <can-slot>. The name attribute of a <can-template> corresponds to the name attribute of a <can-slot>.

For example, the following passes a <my-modal> component a <can-template> of the modal content:

Component.extend({
    tag : 'my-modal',
    view : stache(
        '<div class="wrapper"><can-slot name="modal-content" /></div>'
    )
});

var renderer = stache(
    '<my-modal>' +
        '<can-template name="modal-content">' +
            'Hello World!' +
        '</can-template>' +
    '</my-modal>'
);

renderer() //-> <my-modal><div class="wrapper">Hello World!</div></my-modal>

By default, <can-template> is rendered with the surrounding scope like <content>. A different context (this) can be added to that scope with bindings. Read <can-slot> for more information.

Component.extend({
    tag : 'my-email',
    view : stache(
        '<can-slot name="subject" />' +
        '<p>My Email</p>' +
        '<can-slot name="body" />'
    )
});

var renderer = stache(
    '<my-email>' +
        '<can-template name="subject">' +
            '<h1>{{subject}}</h1>' +
        '</can-template>' +
        '<can-template name="body">' +
            '<span>{{body}}</span>' +
        '</can-template>' +
    '</my-email>'
);

renderer({
    subject: 'Hello World',
    body: 'The email body'
});

/*
<my-email>
    <h1>Hello World</h1>
    <p>My Email</p>
    <span>The email body</span>
</my-email>
*/
