Re: Template Macros Like In Jinja

[Jeff Anderson]

Hello,


That being said, I will proceed to say what I think I know:


It sounds like that it would be a useful feature...

<pause for searching for a ticket>



Good luck!

I stress again that I don't know a ton about the django template system, (or any for that matter) I don't believe that there is a macro-like feature in the django template system that could do that. You'd have to switch completely to jinja in order to get that functionality. I know that isn't what you want to hear. In my handful of searches, I couldn't find an open ticket for such a feature. You could create one to suggest it. It would be something I could learn to use in my templates, given it was available.

hi jeff, thanks for your response.

writing tags to replace macros looks like an overkill to me.
especially because a macro may hold a content that's specific to a
template and such a thing naturally belongs to the template itself and
shouldn't go somewhere deep into the python codebase.

have this example simplified from my app i'm where with Jinja I could
have:

{% macro display_person name, email %}
    <p><a href="mailto:{{ email }}">{{name}}</a></p>
{% endmacro %}

<h2>Subscribed people</h2>
    {% for person in persons.subscribed %}
        {{ display_person(person.name, person.email) }}
    {% endfor %}

<h2>Not subscribed people</h2>
    {% for person in persons.notsubscribed %}
        {{ display_person(person.name, person.email) }}
    {% endfor %}

having "display_person" as a template tag looks like a total overkill
given the relative complexity of writing template tags. and having the
simple <p><a ...></p> in a separate file for 'include' doesn't look
sane either. it's just a piece of reusable html/template that
logically belongs to the template itself.

is there any way perhaps with 'block' tag to achieve this macro-like
behaviour?

thanks

I'm no expert with any template system, but I believe you can write your
own template tags for django's template system.

At the section called "Extending the template system"

Hopefully this is a good starting point!

hi there!

similar to what Jinja has (http://jinja.pocoo.org/)?

repetitive content in a standalone file, but it's pretty obscure to
have a separate file for each little bit of content that to be
repeated here and there.

of macros in django templates?

i wonder if there is any way to have Macros in django templates the closest i could get was using 'include' tag and have the is there any other way other than switching to Jinja to get some sort thanks papa
