How does it work?

Convert entire project

This working mode will convert all HTML files in the specified directory to Django templates and split them into master page and child pages

To create a new Django project, you need to specify the main block name. The main block name is the name of the block that will be used in the base HTML file. The main block name is required.

For example:

Base HTML file

<!-- ./templates/base.html -->
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>My Website</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="header" id="main_block">
            <h1>My Website</h1>
            <p>Welcome to my website</p>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Home HTML file

<!-- ./templates/home.html -->
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>My Website</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="header" id="main_block">
            <h1>User Home</h1>
            <p>Welcome to the user home page</p>
            <img src="assets/images/logo.png" alt="Logo">
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

On the above example, the main block name is main_block. So, when you create a new Django project, the main block name will be used as the name of the block in the base HTML file.

Convert assets URL

This working mode will convert all assets URL in the specified directory to Django static URL.

For example:

Home HTML file

<!-- ./templates/home.html -->
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>My Website</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="header" id="main_block">
            <h1>User Home</h1>
            <p>Welcome to the user home page</p>
            <img src="assets/images/logo.png" alt="Logo">
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

On the above example, the assets URL is assets/images/logo.png. So, when you create a new Django project, the assets URL will be converted to Django static URL:

<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>My Website</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="header" id="main_block">
            <h1>User Home</h1>
            <p>Welcome to the user home page</p>
            <img src="{% static 'assets/images/logo.png' %}" alt="Logo">
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Quick Start

Convert entire project

Let say you have an HTML templates in ./templates directory.

  • Django master page will be: ./templates/base.html
  • Django home page will be: ./templates/home.html, ./templates/users.html or ./templates/home/setting.html
  • HTML main block we want to use is: main_block

We want to create a Django project in ./myproject directory and we want to use ./templates directory as Django templates directory, and the output will be in ./myproject directory.

> dt -b main_block ./templates/base.html -o ./myproject ./templates/* 

This command will generate the following files:

<!-- ./output/base.html -->
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <title>My Website</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="header" id="main_block">
            {% block main_block %}{% endblock %}
        </div>
    </body>
</html>
<!-- ./output/home.html -->
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% load static %}
{% block main_block %}
    <h1>User Home</h1>
    <p>Welcome to the user home page</p>
    <img src="{% static 'assets/images/logo.png' %}" alt="Logo">
{% endblock %}

Convert assets URL

Let say you have a HTML template called ./templates/home.html and you want to convert all assets URL in this file to Django static URL.

> dtt templates/home.html

Note: If you don't set the output directory, the result will be printed to the console.

Advanced Usage

Convert entire project

Static Files

By default this project will copy all static files to the Django static directory. The static directory we'll be static in your output directory. You can change the static directory by using -s or --static option.

> dt -b main_block -m ./templates/base.html -o ./myproject -s assets ./templates/* 

Downloading Remote Files

You can also download remote assets automatically. If your HTML files contains remote assets, this project will download the remote assets and copy them to the static directory.

> dt -b main_block -m ./templates/base.html -D -o ./myproject ./templates/*

Remote templates

You can also use remote templates. This project will download the remote templates and copy them to the templates directory.

> dt -b main_block -m https://example.com/base.html -o ./myproject ./templates/*

Convert assets URL

Static Files

By default this project will copy all static files to the Django static directory. The static directory we'll be static in your output directory. You can change the static directory by using -s or --static option.

> dtt -s assets templates/home.html

You can change the output directory by using -o or --output option.

> dtt -o ./myproject templates/home.html
