Component reference · Garden Handbook

Each page shows the code on the left and the real rendered result on the right; on narrow screens, switch with Preview / Code. For when to use a component, see its usage page.

For every component: invalid YAML, or a top-level key the component does not support, reports garden-yaml on the whole block; a misspelled fence name reports garden-name.
