Joost De Cock b34a2ee2ed feat: Flat import of markdown repo
This is a flat (without history) import of (some of) the content
from our markdown module.

We've imported this without history because the repo contains our
blog posts and showcases posts content prior to porting them to strapi.

Since this contains many images, it would balloon the size of this repo
to import the full history.

Instead, please refer to the history of the (archived) markdown repo
at: https://github.com/freesewing/markdown

title: needs()
---
```js
bool pattern.needs(string partName)
```
Returns `true` or `false` depending on whether a pattern part is *needed*, based
on the value of [pattern.settings.only](/reference/settings/only/) and the
part dependencies listed in the configuration file.
A part is needed if:
- it is requested by the user in the `only` setting
- it is a dependency of a part requested by the user in the `only` setting
- the `only` setting is not set or is `false`, and the part is not hidden
<Note>
You don't typically use this method. Instead, configure part
dependencies in your [configuration file](/reference/config/).
