HMLR Frontend Jinja Macros

HMLR Frontend Jinja Macros

This repository provides a complete set of Jinja macros that are kept up-to-date and 100% compliant with the original HMLR Frontend Nunjucks macros. Porting is intentionally manual rather than automated to make updates simpler than maintaining an automated conversion routine.

Compatibility

The following table shows the version of HMLR Frontend Jinja that you should use for your targeted version of HMLR Frontend:

HMLR Frontend Jinja Version	Target Frontend Version
3.0.0	GOV.UK Frontend 5.13.0
2.0.0	HMLR Frontend 2.0.0
1.1.0	HMLR Frontend 1.4.0
1.0.0	HMLR Frontend 1.1.0
0.2.0	HMLR Frontend 1.0.0-rc1

Any other versions of HMLR Frontend not shown above may still be compatible, but have not been specifically tested and verified.

How to use

After running pip install hmlr-frontend-jinja, ensure that you tell Jinja where to load the templates from using the PackageLoader as follows:

from flask import Flask
from jinja2 import ChoiceLoader, PackageLoader, PrefixLoader

app = Flask(__name__)

app.jinja_loader = ChoiceLoader(
    [
        PackageLoader("server"),
        PrefixLoader(
            {
                "govuk_frontend_jinja": PackageLoader("govuk_frontend_jinja"),
                "govuk_frontend_wtf": PackageLoader("govuk_frontend_wtf"),
                "hmlr_frontend_jinja": PackageLoader("hmlr_frontend_jinja"),
            }
        ),
    ]
)

Calling a Macro in your template

To use a component in your project templates you must import and call the component macro and pass the relevant options, for example:

{%- from 'hmlr_frontend_jinja/components/header/macro.html' import hmlrHeader -%}

{{ hmlrHeader({}) }}

The options available to each component macro can be found in the original HMLR Design System Components documentation. Since this project is a like-for-like port, the only difference between the Nunjucks examples and their Jinja equivalents is having to quote key names, e.g. 'text' instead of text.
