djangocms-render-context 1.3.4

Render context into template.

DjangoCMS Render Context

The plugin for the Django CMS content management system. The plugin displays the context in the template. The context can be specified directly in JSON format. Or the context can be used as a media file. Or the context can be loaded from a URL. The template can be entered directly or selected from a list defined in the settings in the DJANGOCMS_RENDER_CONTEXT_TEMPLATES constant.

Supported source data formats (mimetype):

• csv (text/csv)
• json (application/json)
• yaml (application/yaml)
• xml (application/xml)
• ods (application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.spreadsheet)

INSTALLED_APPS = [

from django.conf.urls.i18n import i18n_patterns
from django.views.i18n import JavaScriptCatalog
from django.urls import path, register_converter
from django.urls.converters import StringConverter


class PackagesConverter(StringConverter):
    """JavaScriptCatalog packages converter."""
    # Same as SlugConverter, but with extra '+', that is used in JavaScriptCatalog as a sepearator in list of packages.
    regex = "[-a-zA-Z0-9_+]+"


register_converter(PackagesConverter, "pkg")

urlpatterns = [
    ...
] + i18n_patterns(
    path('jsi18n/<pkg:packages>/', JavaScriptCatalog.as_view(), name='jsi18n'),
    path('rcdata/', include(('djangocms_render_context.urls', 'djangocms_render_context'))),
)

The path name jsi18n can be redefined with the DJANGOCMS_RENDER_CONTEXT_JSI18N constant.
