A templating engine inspired by Ruby's Slim template engine
Project description
Trim-Template
trim-template is an HTML templating engine for Python inspired by Ruby's Slim template engine.
The objective behind Trim is to simplify template syntax to a minimal format that, like Python itself,
makes use of indentation to indicate how blocks of code should be interpreted.
Installation
pip install trim-template
Example Template
doctype strict
html
head
title My HTML title
stylesheet src='/some.css'
javascript:
console.log('embedded JS inside the template');
body
css:
.alert { color: 'red'; }
.menu-bar
- if user.logged_in
img src={user.profile.image_path}
- else
a#login-button.btn.btn-primary href={login_path} Login
.alert
h1 {greeting}
p.exciting This is the first ever Python Trim-Template
h2#member-list Members
form
input type='checkbox' disabled=True checked=True
p
ul
- for user in users
li
/ code comment - show the user's names. This line will not render.
span {user.first_name} {user.last_name}
/! render the footer
#footer Thanks for using Trim!
Rendered HTML
Trim-Template will render the above template into HTML, as below:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title>My HTML title</title>
