Jinja2 templating language integrated in Django.
Project description
Django application for integrating jinja2 template system.
Jinja2 provides certain advantages over the native system of django, for example, explicit calls to callable from templates, has more performance and has a plugin system, etc …
There is another project like this: Djinja. Unlike him, django-jinja is not intended to replace the django templates, but it complements the django templates, giving the possibility to use both. Thus no need to adapt applications to use django jinja2 only use it where you need it.
Another advantage of “django-jinja” is that you can still use django as before, regardless of specific helper or specific shortcuts.
Features:
Auto load templatetags compatible with jinja2
Can combine django templates with jinja2 templates.
A lot of django template filters ported for work with jinja2
How to install?
You can download tarball from <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/django-jinja/>, extract this and install with:
tar xvf django-jinja-x.y.tar.gz
cd django-jinja
python setup.py installOther alternative is install with pip:
pip install django-jinjaHow to use this on your django project?
As a first and only step, you have to replace django template_loaders by django-jinja2 loaders:
# settings.py
TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
'django_jinja.loaders.AppLoader',
'django_jinja.loaders.FileSystemLoader',
)
INSTALLED_APPS += ('django_jinja',)Now you can place templates (“.jinja” extension) as you would with normal django templates.
You can specify the default extension for jinja2 by the parameter DEFAULT_JINJA2_TEMPLATE_EXTENSION in settings.py:
# settings.py
DEFAULT_JINJA2_TEMPLATE_EXTENSION = '.jinja'You can also assign different options to the Environment by JINJA2_ENVIRONMENT_OPTIONS parameter. To see more details, please see the sample application.
Additionally you can specify whether or not to activate Autoescape extension with JINJA2_AUTOESCAPE boolean parameter. By default is desactivated.
Django filters and functions:
Url reverse:
Useful for reverse urls on templates. Currently have two alternatives: filter or function.
Usage examples:
{{ 'ns:urlaname'|reverse(arg1=val1) }}
{{ url('ns:urlaname', arg1=val1) }}Almost all of django templatefilters are available in “django-jinja”, and if you find one at fault, patches are welcome.
I18N and Django gettext
django-jinja incorporates an extension to makemessages command, so you can deal with differences of translations jinja tags.
This is an example of use:
python ../manage.py makemessages -a -e py,jinja,htmlRelease history Release notifications | RSS feed
