DjHTML

A pure-Python Django template indenter without dependencies.

DjHTML is a Django template indenter that works with mixed HTML/CSS/Javascript templates. It works similar to other code-formatting tools such as Black. The goal is to correctly indent already well-structured templates but not to fix broken ones.

For example, DjHTML converts the following badly indented template:

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <body>
        {% block content %}
        Hello, world!
        {% endblock %}
        <script>
            $(function() {
            console.log('Hi mom!');
            });
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

To the following:

<!doctype html>
<html>
    <body>
        {% block content %}
            Hello, world!
        {% endblock %}
        <script>
            $(function() {
                console.log('Hi mom!');
            });
        </script>
    </body>
</html>

Installation

You can install DjHTML with the following command:

$ pip install djhtml

Usage

After installation you can indent Django templates using the djhtml command. The default is to write the indented output to standard out. To modify the source file in-place, use the -i / --in-place option:

$ djhtml -i template.html
Successfully reformatted template.html

The other available options are:

-h / --help: show overview of available options
-q / --quiet: don't print any output
-t / --tabwidth: set tabwidth (default is 4)
-o / --output-file: write output to specified file

Pre-commit configuration

You can use DjHTML as a pre-commit hook to automatically indent your Django templates upon each commit.

First, install pre-commit:

$ pip install pre-commit
$ pre-commit install

Then, add the following to your .pre-commit-config.yaml:

repos:
- repo: https://github.com/rtts/djhtml
  rev: main
  hooks:
  - id: djhtml

Finally, run the following command:

$ pre-commit autoupdate

Now when you run git commit you will see something like the following output:

$ git commit

djhtml...................................................................Failed
- hook id: djhtml
- files were modified by this hook

Successfully reformatted template.html

To inspect the changes that were made, use git diff. If you are happy with the changes, you can commit them normally. If you are not happy, please do the following:

Run SKIP=djhtml git commit to commit anyway, skipping the djhtml hook.
Consider opening an issue with relevant part of the input file that was incorrectly formatted, and an example of how it should have been formatted.

Your feedback for improving DjHTML is very welcome!
