django_template_goodies 0.1.2

A set of django template tools.

A set of simple tools that will make your life easier in django templates. Based on great django-classytags library.

Installation

1. Install the package

$> pip install django-template-goodies

1. put “template_goodies” into INSTALLED_APPS.

Usage: render_with

This is sort of macro-like solution allowing you to define base template that looks always the same, and fill just a “block” inside it differently.

Assuming you have partial template person_wrapper.html:

<div class="person-wrapper">
    <div class="first-name">{{ first_name }}</div>
    {{ block }}
</div>

You can use it in following way:

{% load goodies %}

{% render_with "person_wrapper.html" first_name="First" last_name="Last" %}
<div class="last-name">{{ last_name }}</div>
{% end %}

This invocation will substitude “{{ block }}” in person_wrapper.html with the contents within “{% render_with …. %}” and “{% end %}”. So the outcome of above will be more or less:

<div class="person-wrapper">
    <div class="first-name">First</div>
    <div class="last-name">Last</div>
</div>

Usage: dict

Updates or creates dictionary inside template. You can use all kinds of filters on variable if you need:

{% load goodies %}

{% dict opts name="first"|title %}
{% dict opts last_name="last" value=opts.name %}

{{ opts.first }} - {{ opts.last_name}} || {{ opts.value }}

The outcome will be more or less following:

First - last || first
