Render Jinja2 template block as HTML page fragments on Python web frameworks.
Project description
Jinja2 fragments
Jinja2 Fragments allows rendering individual blocks from Jinja2 templates. This library was created to enable the pattern of Template Fragments with Jinja2. It's a great pattern if you are using HTMX or some other library that leverages fetching partial HTML.
With jinja2, if you have a template block that you want to render by itself and as part of another page, you are forced to put that block on a separate file and then use the include tag (or Jinja Partials) on the wrapping template.
With Jinja2 Fragments, following the Locality of Behavior design principle you have a single file for both cases. See below for examples.
Install
It's just pip install jinja2-fragments and you're all set. It's a pure Python package
that only needs jinja2 (for obvious reasons!).
Usage
This is an example of how to use the library with vanilla Jinja2. Given the template page.html.jinja2:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>This is the title</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>This is a header</h1>
{% block content %}
<p>This is the magic number: {{ magic_number }}.</p>
{% endblock %}
</body>
</html>
If you want to render only the content block, do:
from jinja2 import Environment, FileSystemLoader, select_autoescape
from jinja2_fragments import render_block
environment = Environment(
loader=FileSystemLoader("my_templates"),
autoescape=select_autoescape(("html", "jinja2"))
)
rendered_html = render_block(
environment, "page.html.jinja2", "content", magic_number=42
)
And this will only render:
<p>This is the magic number: 42.</p>
Usage with Flask
If you want to use Jinja2 Fragments with Flask, assuming the same template as the example above, do:
from flask import Flask, render_template
from jinja2_fragments.flask import render_block
app = Flask(__name__)
@app.get("/full_page")
def full_page():
return render_template("page.html.jinja2", magic_number=42)
@app.get("/only_content")
def only_content():
return render_block("page.html.jinja2", "content", magic_number=42)
How to collaborate
This project uses pre-commit hooks to run black, isort, pyupgrade and flake8 on each commit. To have that running automatically on your environment, install the project with:
pip install -e .[dev]
And then run once:
pre-commit install
From now one, every time you commit your files on this project, they will be automatically processed by the tools listed above.
How to run tests
You can install pytest and other required dependencies with:
pip install -e .[tests]
And then run the test suite with:
pytest
