Add ssi_views.urls to your URLconf:

    path('ssi/', include('ssi_views.urls')),

    # Django < 2.0
    url(r'^ssi/', include('ssi_views.urls', namespace='ssi_views')),
)

Usage

@ssi_view('name')

Use this decorator to register your views (Function-Based or Class-Based).

from ssi_views.decorators import ssi_view

@ssi_view('myapp.form')
def form_view(request):
    ...

@ssi_view('myapp.form_cbv')
class SSIFormView(FormView):
    ...

NOTE: The specified name has to be unique.

You can combine ssi_view with other decorators.

@csrf_exempt
@require_POST
@ssi_view('myapp.contact_form')
def csrf_exempt_view(request):
    # ...

{% ssi_include %}

Template tag to render include virtual directive.

{% load ssi_views %}

{% ssi_include "myapp.form" %}

Output:

<!--# include virtual="/ssi/myapp.form/" -->

{% ssi_url %}

This tag is used to add SSI URLs in the template files:

{% load ssi_views %}

<!--# include virtual="{% ssi_url 'myapp.form' %}" -->

Multiple names

You can have multiple names for same view:

from ssi_views.decorators import ssi_view

@ssi_view(['myapp.form', 'myapp.fallback'])
def example_view(request):
    ...

Jinja2 support

Enable Jinja2 extension

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.jinja2.Jinja2',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'extensions': [
                ...
                'ssi_views.templatetags.ssi_views.SSIIncludeExtension',
            ]
        }
    }
]

NOTE: If you are using django-jinja, you don't need to do this.

The usage is similar to Django, except that ssi_url is a global function:

<!--# include virtual="{{ ssi_url('myapp.form') }}" -->

Development and Testing

pip install -r ./requirements.txt
pre-commit install
