Theme files are written in the Plate templating language. This language is HTML combined with a simple templating language. Any CSS or Javascript assets or frameworks can be used and included. By default, the Plate Grid framework is included.
Content Types
Theme Files for Content Types are structured as follows: :object_type_kind_name/:plural_name/:theme_file_name.:ext. In the case of Inline Layout components, like Elements and Sections, :theme_file_name usually is the singular name of the layout component or content type.
E.g., for Post Types, Element Types and Section Types:
| Code Block |
|---|
posts/pages/show.plate posts/categories/show.plate elements/colored_buttons/colored_button.plate elements/paragraphs/paragraph.plate sections/page_sections/page_section.plate sections/background_sections/background_section.plate |
...
| Code Block |
|---|
includes/my_include.plate /_some_include.plate elements/paragraphs/_some_include.plate theme/_some_other_include.plate |
Public files
Sometimes it is necessary to put some static file on a site, like robots.txt. You can put these files in the folder public of the theme. These files will then be directly be accessible at the path relative to the folder public.
...
If you have a file at public/robots.txt, this file will be available at "https://www.yoursite.com/robots.txt".
