Power to the templates* 

{%
  set classes = [
    'node',
    'node--type-' ~ node.bundle|clean_class,
    node.isPromoted() ? 'node--promoted',
    node.isSticky() ? 'node--sticky',
    not node.isPublished() ? 'node--unpublished',
    view_mode ? 'node--view-mode-' ~ view_mode|clean_class,
  ]
%}
{{ attach_library('classy/node') }}
<article{{ attributes.addClass(classes) }}>

Additive vs. Subtractive

{{ content|without('comments', 'links') }}

{{ content.links }}

{{ content|without('comments') }}
{% hide(content.comments) %}
{% hide(content.links) %}
{{ content }}
{{ content.links }}
{% show(content.links) %}

{# Content with links but without comments #}
{{ content }}
