djinga 1.1.1

Built-in Jinja2 extensions

Djinga comes with several Jinja2 extensions

djinga.ext.static

Provides a {% static 'path' %} tag to refer to Django’s staticfiles directory

djinga.ext.css

Provides a {% css 'rel/path/to/file.css' %} tag that generates a HTML link element refering to the css file located at a relative path in a css directory. The css directory’s path can be defined relatively to Django’s staticfiles directory through the setting JINJA2_STATIC_CSS

djinga.ext.js

Same as djinga.ext.css but generates a HTML script element refering to a javascript file. The js directory’s relative path can be set through the setting JINJA2_STATIC_JS

djinga.ext.media

Simply concatenates django’s MEDIA_URL to the argument provided

djinga.ext.django

Provides a {% django %}{% enddjango %} tag to include django template language in a jinja2 template. For this tag to work, the django.core.context_processors.request context processor must be enabled.

djinga.ext.url

Provides a tag for URL reversing, similar to the django templates one.

Other Jinja2 extensions

djinga.ext.htmlcompress.HTMLCompress / SelectiveHTMLCompress

© 2011 Armin Ronacher. Eliminates useless whitespace at template compilation time without extra overhead.

Django template tags

The following tags are available in any django template explicitly loading djinga_tags using the {% load djinga_tags %} statement.

extends

Overrides the standard {% extends %} tag and enables it to refer to jinja2 files as well as normal django template files. While the template engine for the current file remains Django’s one, the template engine for the extended file can be either Jinja2 or Django, depending on the file extension (in JINJA2_DJ_EXTS or JINJA2_JJ_EXTS)
