Using {{ super() }}
for extending a block (#4309)
* Using `{{ super() }}` for extending a block Yesterday we were struggling with adding a Zendesk widget (a simple JS) to our docs, because overriding any existing template block would lead to a broken site. Finally, we found this function which saved us. I wanted to share this, because it's not a common knowledge and it might be helpful for others. * suggested correction

If you intend to add some code to a block rather than to replace it altogether with new content, use `{{ super() }}` right after the `{% block %}` statement to include the original block content. This is particularly useful when adding some third-party widgets to your docs, e.g., for chatting with support or submitting a ticket. For example, if your widget script is hosted on `widgets.example.com`, add the following lines to `main.html`:
|
||||
|
||||
```html
|
||||
{% extends "base.html" %}
|
||||
|
||||
{% block scripts %}
|
||||
|
||||
{{ super() }}
|
||||
|
||||
<script id="snippet" src="https://widgets.example.com/snippet.js> </script>
|

|

{% endblock %}
