Allow referencing Handlebars partials by filename instead of subdirectory

[davegomez]

Operating system

macOS Ventura 13.2.1

Eleventy

2.0.0

Describe the bug

Partials inside subdirectories in _includes are not found.

Is there any configuration option or syntax that allows me to access partials inside subdirectories?

Reproduction steps

Having the following files:

src/views/index.hbs
src/_includes/navbar.hbs
src/_includes/ui/button.hbs

navbar.hbs uses {{> button }} but I'm getting the following error when trying to compile the view:

[11ty] 1. Having trouble rendering hbs template ./src/views/index.hbs (via TemplateContentRenderError)
[11ty] 2. The partial button could not be found (via Error)

If I move the file one level up to the _includes directory it will work, but our project has hundreds of partials and we need the directories to keep them organized.

Expected behavior

I found Eleventy is actually processing all the partials inside subdirectories, the problem is that I have to extend the route if I want to use them, so it would be {{> ui/button }} instead of {{> button }}.

I wonder if there is any way to avoid this and just use the name of the partial to avoid changing the hundreds of pages we already have in production?
