Custom wrapper for require() instead of get_template_part()

readme.md

Usage in templates

1. Load template your-theme/templates/cards/post.php. Please note that global variable will be accessible in the template.

get_partial( 'templates/cards/post' );

2. Load template your-theme/templates/cards/post.php and pass a local variable.

$var = 'Hello world';

get_partial( 'templates/cards/post', compact( 'var') );

In template, just use $var as normal:

echo $var;

3. Load template your-theme/templates/cards/post.php and pass multiple local variables.

$var_one = 'Hello';
$var_two = 'World';

get_partial( 'templates/cards/post', compact( 'var_one', 'var_two' ) );

In template, just use $var as normal:

echo $var_one, ' ', $var_two;

/**
