Hi, |

Hi @mbacalan, django-jinja automatically loads django's built-in tags, but it has to be configured to load any third-party tags in your settings, like this: # settings.py
TEMPLATES = [
{
"BACKEND": "django_jinja.backend.Jinja2",
"OPTIONS": {
"globals": {
"vite_hmr_client": "django_vite.templatetags.django_vite.vite_hmr_client",
"vite_asset": "django_vite.templatetags.django_vite.vite_asset",
},
...Furthermore, in jinja templates, you call the tags as if they were functions, with {% load django_vite %}
<html>
<head>
<title>vite on django</title>
{% vite_hmr_client %}
</head>
<body>
<div id="app"></div>
{% vite_asset 'src/main.js' %}
</body>
</html>...you would need to convert it to this in a jinja template: <html>
<head>
<title>vite on jinja</title>
{{ vite_hmr_client() }}
</head>
<body>
<div id="app"></div>
{{ vite_asset('src/main.js') }}
</body>
</html>I hope that helps. |

@wizpig64 thanks! Works like a charm. Maybe this issue can be closed, unless this is only applicable to |

This was very helpful. I think adding it to the readme would be a good idea 🙂 |
Hello,
I followed everything in the readme and took a look at the example app too but I can't seem to get it working on our company project. Every tag registered by django_vite, such as
load,vite_hmr_clientetc. causes anEncountered unknown tagerror. I can see thedjango_vitefolder insidevenvand it is present inINSTALLED_APPS. The server starts with no errors so it doesn't look like there's an issue with installing the pip package but when I load the page, it flips out.We are using Jinja template engine via
django-jinjapackage. I'm suspecting that's the cause?Let me know if you need more information about the project.
Thanks.
