django-templatetag-handlebars allows you to embed Handlebars.js templates in your django templates.
Most of the template tag code comes from Miguel Araujo's verbatim snippet.
pip install django-templatetag-handlebars
- Add
templatetag_handlebars
to yourINSTALLED_APPS
- Add the HTML header :
{% load templatetag_handlebars %} <head> {% handlebars_js %} ... </head>
- Call the template tag, and write your Handlebars template :
{% tplhandlebars "tpl-infos" %} {{total}} {% trans "result(s)." %} <p>{% trans "Min" %}: {{min}}</p> <p>{% trans "Max" %}: {{max}}</p> {% endtplhandlebars %}
- The following block with end-up in your page :
<script type="text/x-handlebars" id="tpl-infos"> {{total}} result(s). <p>Min: {{min}}</p> <p>Max: {{max}}</p> <script>
- Render it, client-side, as usual using
Handlebars.js
API :
var properties = { total: 10, min: 4, max: 5 }; var template = Handlebars.compile($('#tpl-infos').html()), rendered = template(properties);
- Your rendered string is ready, and waiting to be inserted in your DOM :)
10 result(s). <p>Min: 4</p> <p>Max: 5</p>
A {% verbatim %}
tag is available to escape a specific part. For
example, you may want a subpart of your Handlebars template to be
rendered by Django :
<script type="text/x-handlebars" id="tpl-django-form"> <form> {% verbatim %} {{#if id}}<h1>{{first}} {{last}}</h1>{{/if}} {% trans "Your id is" %} {{ id }} {% endverbatim %} {{ yourform.as_p }} </form> </script>
In settings.py
ensure to set the following attribute to True
. This is due to Ember.js expecting a slightly different script id declaration
USE_EMBER_STYLE_ATTRS = True
The script block will be rendered like `<script type="text/x-handlebars" data-template-name="%s">`
