sqlfluff-plugin-extended-jinja 0.1.0

SQLFluff plugin with Jinja formatting rules: block tags on own lines and Black-based expression formatting.

sqlfluff-plugin-extended-jinja

SQLFluff plugin that adds extended Jinja formatting rules. Ensures block-level tags are isolated on their own lines and formats Python expressions inside Jinja tags using Black.

Uses the EJ (Extended Jinja) prefix to avoid conflicts with SQLFluff's built-in JJ rules.

Code	Name	Description
EJ01	extended_jinja.block_solo_line	Block tags (if, for, else, endif, ...) must be on their own lines
EJ02	extended_jinja.content_format	Format Python expressions inside Jinja tags with Black

Installation

pip install sqlfluff-plugin-extended-jinja

For Black-based formatting (EJ02):

pip install "sqlfluff-plugin-extended-jinja[jinjafmt]"

Usage

Once installed, the rules are automatically available to SQLFluff:

# Lint
sqlfluff lint my_model.sql --rules EJ01,EJ02

# Fix
sqlfluff fix my_model.sql --rules EJ01,EJ02

Configuration

Add to your .sqlfluff config file:

[sqlfluff:rules:extended_jinja.block_solo_line]
# Spaces per indent level for content inside block tags
jinja_indent_size = 2

[sqlfluff:rules:extended_jinja.content_format]
# Spaces per indent level inside formatted Jinja tags
jinja_indent_size = 2
# Max line length for Jinja content formatting
jinja_line_length = 120
# Enable/disable Black formatting
jinja_black_enabled = True

Rules

EJ01 — extended_jinja.block_solo_line

Block-level Jinja tags (if, for, else, elif, endif, endfor, macro, endmacro, etc.) must not share a line with SQL content or other tags.

Anti-pattern:

SELECT * FROM foo WHERE 1=1 {% if true %} AND x > 1 {% endif %}

Best practice:

SELECT * FROM foo WHERE 1=1
{% if true %}
  AND x > 1
{% endif %}

EJ02 — extended_jinja.content_format

Python expressions inside {{ }} and {% %} tags are formatted with Black for consistent style. Handles macro definitions, reserved-word identifiers (e.g. return()), and Jinja's tilde (~) concatenation operator.

Requires the black package. When Black is unavailable, the rule is silently skipped.

Anti-pattern:

{{ config(materialized="incremental", unique_key="order_id",
            partition_by={"field": "order_date", "data_type": "date"}) }}

Best practice:

{{
    config(
        materialized="incremental",
        unique_key="order_id",
        partition_by={"field": "order_date", "data_type": "date"},
    )
}}
