templates.Exists
Syntax
templates.Exists PATH
Returns
bool
A template file is any file within the layouts directory of either the project or any of its theme components.
Use the templates.Exists function with dynamic template paths:
{{ $partialPath := printf "headers/%s.html" .Type }}
{{ if templates.Exists ( printf "partials/%s" $partialPath ) }}
{{ partial $partialPath . }}
{{ else }}
{{ partial "headers/default.html" . }}
{{ end }}
In the example above, if a “headers” partial does not exist for the given content type, Hugo falls back to a default template.
