Nested component paths

[gestchild]

Hey,

I've been trying out Fractal on a Nunjucks project I'm currently working on and am really impressed with it.

One issue I've encountered is with nested component paths.

By default, it seems I can only include/extend components with the @handle syntax or via the filename (if I first specify a path when configuring the Nunjucks instance).

What I'd like to be able to do is include a component with its full path, e.g.

{% include "path/to/files/component.njk" %}

as this is how they are included in my project.

The only way I can see to achieve this is to add another custom loader into the Nunjucks adapter, along the lines of:

  const PathLoader = nunjucks.Loader.extend({
      getSource(path) {
          if (path.indexOf('/') === -1 ) {
              return;
          }
          const templateFile = path.split("/").pop();
          const templateName = '@'+templateFile.substr(0, templateFile.lastIndexOf('.'));
          const view = self.getView(templateName);
          if (view) {
              return {
                  src: view.content,
                  path: view.content,
                  noCache: true
              };
          }
      }
  });
  loaders.push(new PathLoader());

This takes the filename from the path string and converts it to a handle so it can be passed to the getView method.

It seems to work ok, but was wondering if there was a better way.

Thanks
