Can I make static components with template_engine: serbea?

[firedev]

I have tried to make a static _components/icon.liquid, _components/icon.serb file.

It's not being rendered. I try to add {% render "icon" %} to my index.md I see an error

No such file or directory: src/_partials/_icon.serb`. 

Is it even possible?

If your template engine is set to serbea, then Bridgetown will look for serb files only. Why do you have a liquid file in there too?

As per the convention for ERB files, which Serbea also uses, all partials much be prefixed with an _. If you renamed your file to _components/_icon.serb, it should work I think. Please remember to delete the liquid file as well.

Also components are ideally for Ruby components only so I'd also recommend moving the file to _partials/_icon.serb.

Thank you, guess you right, static component IS a partial. Maybe "static components" should be removed from the docs then. Use partials or real components.
