This card is for [Lovelace](https://www.home-assistant.io/lovelace) on [Home Assistant](https://www.home-assistant.io/).
18+
19+
We all use multiple times the same configuration accros our lovelace configuration and we don't want to change the same things in a hundred places accross our configuration each time we want to modify something.
20+
21+
`decluterring-card` to the rescue!! This card allows you to reuse multiple times the same configuration in your lovelace configuration to avoid repetition.
22+
23+
## Configuration
24+
25+
### Defining your templates
26+
27+
First, you need to define your templates.
28+
29+
The templates are defined in a object at the root of your lovelace configuration. This object needs to be named `decluttering_templates`.
30+
31+
This object needs to contains your templates declaration, each template has a name and can contain variables. A variable needs to be enclosed in double square brackets `[[variable_name]]`. It will later be replaced by a real value when you instanciate a card which uses this template.
32+
33+
Eg in your `lovelace-ui.yaml`:
34+
```yaml
35+
resources:
36+
- url: /local/decluttering-card.js
37+
type: module
38+
39+
decluttering_templates:
40+
my_first_template: # This is the name of a template
41+
type: custom:button-card
42+
name: '[[name]]'
43+
icon: 'mdi:[[icon]]'
44+
45+
my_second_template: # This is the name of another template
46+
type: custom:vertical-stack-in-card
47+
cards:
48+
- type: horizontal-stack
49+
cards:
50+
- type: custom:button-card
51+
entity: '[[entity_1]]'
52+
- type: custom:button-card
53+
entity: '[[entity_2]]'
54+
```
55+
56+
### Using the card
57+
58+
| Name | Type | Requirement | Description
59+
| ---- | ---- | ------- | -----------
60+
| type | string | **Required** | `custom:decluttering-card`
61+
| template | object | **Required** | The template to use from `decluttering_templates`
62+
| variables | list | **Optional** | List of variables and their value to replace in the `template`
63+
64+
Example which references the previous templates:
65+
```yaml
66+
- type: custom:decluttering-card
67+
template: my_first_template
68+
variables:
69+
- name: Test Button
70+

71+
72+

73+

74+
variables:

76+
- entity_2: light.my_light
77+
```
78+
79+
80+
