Django template backend

[pelme]

This is an experimental template backend for Django that allows Django to load functions that return htpy content wherever you normally specify a template_name.

Put {"BACKEND": "htpy.django.HTPYTemplates", "NAME": "htpy"} in your TEMPLATES setting.

You could then use it something like this:

# views.py
from django.views.generic import ListView
from pizza.models import Pizza


class PizzaListView(ListView):
    model = Pizza
    template_name = "pizza.components.pizza_list"

# components.py
import htpy as h

def pizza_list(context, request):
    return h.ul[h.li[pizza for pizza in context['object_list']]]

Wherever you specify a template_name = "...", you can specify an import path to a function that returns htpy elements.

Note: Django 5.1 requires template engines to implement a check() method.

Thanks for the heads up, will add a check() method too!

The Django template backend is now part of the 24.8.2 release! 🙂
