Use
portal
is used to render HTML some place other than the template in which the helper is used.
A common use case for portal
is to render content with the document's head element.
For components, this makes it easier to have separate <title>
and <meta>
tags defined in each template.
For example this component:
import { Component } from "can";
Component.extend({
tag: "cart-page",
view: `
{{#portal(head)}}
<title>Cart | Dog Stuff</title>
{{/portal}}
`,
ViewModel: {
head: {
default: () => document.head
}
}
});
Will insert <title>Cart | Dog Stuff</title>
into the document head.
