Feature Request: Master Slide / Slide Templates

[adamgruber]

A big feature in other presentation software is the ability to define a master / template slide that has some styling on it or maybe a background image. This slide can become the basis for all other slides in the deck.

Maybe something like this:

const MasterSlide = () => <Slide bgImage="something" />;

// ...

<Deck masterSlide={masterSlide}>
    <Slide>...</Slide>
</Deck>

Or it could be a prop on the <Slide> itself. Something like

<Slide template={slideTemplateA}>
    //...
</Slide>

I personally use :

const slideDefaults = {
  bgColor: "primary",
…
};

…

<Slide {...slideDefaults}>

</Slide>

HOCs can help you too.

We will be handling slide templates and themes differently in new spectacle, so I am closing this issue in favor of the impending API change
