How to load scripts and styles to a specific WordPress template

It is not always necessary for all of your scripts and styles to be loaded on every page of your website. In this scenario it is possible to conditionally load certain scripts and styles based on the WordPress page template that is being used.

To conditionally load scripts and styles based on WordPress page template you should wrap a conditional tag around the relevant enqueue tags in functions.php.
