Decide to render a partial or not dynamically in Astro
Using htmx I have the need to render an HTML partial from a page, so I use:
---
export const partial = true
---
What if, however, I decide I want to render a full page instead, maybe depending on the HTTP method used to reach this page?
I can still wrap the resulting HTML in a <Layout>
component that renders the DOCTYPE, head tag and all.
And this will render the full page.
Otherwise if you just output an HTML fragment without wrapping in a layout, it’s an HTML partial.
