Custom template backend
=======================
Custom backends
---------------
Here's how to implement a custom template backend in order to use another
template system. A template backend is a class that inherits
``django.template.backends.base.BaseEngine``. It must implement
``get_template()`` and optionally ``from_string()``. Here's an example for a
fictional ``foobar`` template library::
from django.template import TemplateDoesNotExist, TemplateSyntaxError
from django.template.backends.base import BaseEngine
from django.template.backends.utils import csrf_input_lazy, csrf_token_lazy
import foobar
class FooBar(BaseEngine):
# Name of the subdirectory containing the templates for this engine
# inside an installed application.
app_dirname = 'foobar'
def __init__(self, params):
params = params.copy()
options = params.pop('OPTIONS').copy()
super().__init__(params)
self.engine = foobar.Engine(**options)
def from_string(self, template_code):
try:
return Template(self.engine.from_string(template_code))
except foobar.TemplateCompilationFailed as exc:
raise TemplateSyntaxError(exc.args)
def get_template(self, template_name):
try:
return Template(self.engine.get_template(template_name))
except foobar.TemplateNotFound as exc:
raise TemplateDoesNotExist(exc.args, backend=self)
except foobar.TemplateCompilationFailed as exc:
raise TemplateSyntaxError(exc.args)
class Template:
def __init__(self, template):
self.template = template
def render(self, context=None, request=None):
if context is None:
context = {}
if request is not None:
context['request'] = request
context['csrf_input'] = csrf_input_lazy(request)
context['csrf_token'] = csrf_token_lazy(request)
return self.template.render(context)
See `DEP 182`_ for more information.
.. _template-debug-integration:
Debug integration for custom engines
------------------------------------
The Django debug page has hooks to provide detailed information when a template
error arises. Custom template engines can use these hooks to enhance the
traceback information that appears to users. The following hooks are available:
.. _template-postmortem:
Template postmortem
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The postmortem appears when :exc:`~django.template.TemplateDoesNotExist` is
raised. It lists the template engines and loaders that were used when trying to
find a given template. For example, if two Django engines are configured, the
postmortem will appear like:
.. image:: _images/postmortem.png
Custom engines can populate the postmortem by passing the ``backend`` and
``tried`` arguments when raising :exc:`~django.template.TemplateDoesNotExist`.
Backends that use the postmortem :ref:`should specify an origin
<template-origin-api>` on the template object.
Contextual line information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If an error happens during template parsing or rendering, Django can display
the line the error happened on. For example:
.. image:: _images/template-lines.png
Custom engines can populate this information by setting a ``template_debug``
attribute on exceptions raised during parsing and rendering. This attribute is
a :class:`dict` with the following values:
* ``'name'``: The name of the template in which the exception occurred.
* ``'message'``: The exception message.
* ``'source_lines'``: The lines before, after, and including the line the
exception occurred on. This is for context, so it shouldn't contain more than
20 lines or so.
* ``'line'``: The line number on which the exception occurred.
* ``'before'``: The content on the error line before the token that raised the
error.
* ``'during'``: The token that raised the error.
* ``'after'``: The content on the error line after the token that raised the
error.
* ``'total'``: The number of lines in ``source_lines``.
* ``'top'``: The line number where ``source_lines`` starts.
* ``'bottom'``: The line number where ``source_lines`` ends.
Given the above template error, ``template_debug`` would look like::
{
'name': '/path/to/template.html',
'message': "Invalid block tag: 'syntax'",
'source_lines': [
(1, 'some\n'),
(2, 'lines\n'),
(3, 'before\n'),
(4, 'Hello {% syntax error %} {{ world }}\n'),
(5, 'some\n'),
(6, 'lines\n'),
(7, 'after\n'),
(8, ''),
],
'line': 4,
'before': 'Hello ',
'during': '{% syntax error %}',
'after': ' {{ world }}\n',
'total': 9,
'bottom': 9,
'top': 1,
}
.. _template-origin-api:
Origin API and 3rd-party integration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Django templates have an :class:`~django.template.base.Origin` object available
through the ``template.origin`` attribute. This enables debug information to be
displayed in the :ref:`template postmortem <template-postmortem>`, as well as
in 3rd-party libraries, like the `Django Debug Toolbar`_.
Custom engines can provide their own ``template.origin`` information by
creating an object that specifies the following attributes:
* ``'name'``: The full path to the template.
* ``'template_name'``: The relative path to the template as passed into the
template loading methods.
* ``'loader_name'``: An optional string identifying the function or class used
to load the template, e.g. ``django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader``.

.. _template-language-intro:
The Django template language
============================
.. highlight:: html+django
Syntax
------
.. admonition:: About this section
This is an overview of the Django template language's syntax. For details
see the :doc:`language syntax reference </ref/templates/language>`.
A Django template is a text document or a Python string marked-up using the
Django template language. Some constructs are recognized and interpreted by the
template engine. The main ones are variables and tags.
A template is rendered with a context. Rendering replaces variables with their
values, which are looked up in the context, and executes tags. Everything else
is output as is.
The syntax of the Django template language involves four constructs.
Variables
~~~~~~~~~
A variable outputs a value from the context, which is a dict-like object
mapping keys to values.
Variables are surrounded by ``{{`` and ``}}`` like this::
My first name is {{ first_name }}. My last name is {{ last_name }}.
With a context of ``{'first_name': 'John', 'last_name': 'Doe'}``, this template
renders to::
My first name is John. My last name is Doe.
Dictionary lookup, attribute lookup and list-index lookups are implemented with
a dot notation::
{{ my_dict.key }}
{{ my_object.attribute }}
{{ my_list.0 }}
If a variable resolves to a callable, the template system will call it with no
arguments and use its result instead of the callable.
Tags
~~~~
Tags provide arbitrary logic in the rendering process.
This definition is deliberately vague. For example, a tag can output content,
serve as a control structure e.g. an "if" statement or a "for" loop, grab
content from a database, or even enable access to other template tags.
Tags are surrounded by ``{%`` and ``%}`` like this::
{% csrf_token %}
Most tags accept arguments::
{% cycle 'odd' 'even' %}
Some tags require beginning and ending tags::
{% if user.is_authenticated %}Hello, {{ user.username }}.{% endif %}
A :ref:`reference of built-in tags <ref-templates-builtins-tags>` is
available as well as :ref:`instructions for writing custom tags
<howto-writing-custom-template-tags>`.
Filters
~~~~~~~
Filters transform the values of variables and tag arguments.
They look like this::
{{ django|title }}
With a context of ``{'django': 'the web framework for perfectionists with
deadlines'}``, this template renders to::
The Web Framework For Perfectionists With Deadlines
Some filters take an argument::
{{ my_date|date:"Y-m-d" }}
A :ref:`reference of built-in filters <ref-templates-builtins-filters>` is
available as well as :ref:`instructions for writing custom filters
<howto-writing-custom-template-filters>`.
Comments
~~~~~~~~
Comments look like this::
{# this won't be rendered #}
A :ttag:`{% comment %} <comment>` tag provides multi-line comments.
Components
----------
.. admonition:: About this section
This is an overview of the Django template language's APIs. For details
see the :doc:`API reference </ref/templates/api>`.
Engine
~~~~~~
:class:`django.template.Engine` encapsulates an instance of the Django
template system. The main reason for instantiating an
:class:`~django.template.Engine` directly is to use the Django template
language outside of a Django project.
:class:`django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates` is a thin wrapper
adapting :class:`django.template.Engine` to Django's template backend API.
Template
~~~~~~~~
:class:`django.template.Template` represents a compiled template. Templates are
obtained with :meth:`.Engine.get_template` or :meth:`.Engine.from_string`.
Likewise ``django.template.backends.django.Template`` is a thin wrapper
adapting :class:`django.template.Template` to the common template API.
Context
~~~~~~~
:class:`django.template.Context` holds some metadata in addition to the context
data. It is passed to :meth:`.Template.render` for rendering a template.
:class:`django.template.RequestContext` is a subclass of
:class:`~django.template.Context` that stores the current
:class:`~django.http.HttpRequest` and runs template context processors.
The common API doesn't have an equivalent concept. Context data is passed in a
plain :class:`dict` and the current :class:`~django.http.HttpRequest` is passed
separately if needed.
Loaders
~~~~~~~
Template loaders are responsible for locating templates, loading them, and
returning :class:`~django.template.Template` objects.
Django provides several :ref:`built-in template loaders <template-loaders>`
and supports :ref:`custom template loaders <custom-template-loaders>`.
Context processors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Context processors are functions that receive the current
:class:`~django.http.HttpRequest` as an argument and return a :class:`dict` of
data to be added to the rendering context.
Their main use is to add common data shared by all templates to the context
without repeating code in every view.
Django provides many :ref:`built-in context processors <context-processors>`,
and you can implement your own additional context processors, too.

error arises. Custom template engines can use these hooks to enhance the
traceback information that appears to users. The following hooks are available:
.. _template-postmortem:

Custom engines can populate the postmortem by passing the ``backend`` and
``tried`` arguments when raising :exc:`~django.template.TemplateDoesNotExist`.
Backends that use the postmortem :ref:`should specify an origin
<template-origin-api>` on the template object.
Contextual line information
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If an error happens during template parsing or rendering, Django can display
the line the error happened on. For example:
.. image:: _images/template-lines.png
Custom engines can populate this information by setting a ``template_debug``
attribute on exceptions raised during parsing and rendering. This attribute
is a :class:`dict` with the following values:
* ``'name'``: The name of the template in which the exception occurred.
* ``'message'``: The exception message.
* ``'source_lines'``: The lines before, after, and including the line the
exception occurred on. This is for context, so it shouldn't contain more than
20 lines or so.
* ``'line'``: The line number on which the exception occurred.
* ``'before'``: The content on the error line before the token that raised the
error.
* ``'during'``: The token that raised the error.
* ``'after'``: The content on the error line after the token that raised the
error.
* ``'total'``: The number of lines in ``source_lines``.
* ``'top'``: The line number where ``source_lines`` starts.
* ``'bottom'``: The line number where ``source_lines`` ends.
Given the above template error, ``template_debug`` would look like::
{
'name': '/path/to/template.html',
'message': "Invalid block tag: 'syntax'",
'source_lines': [
(1, 'some\n'),
(2, 'lines\n'),
(3, 'before\n'),

'after': ' {{ world }}\n',
'total': 9,
'bottom': 9,
'top': 1,
}
.. _template-origin-api:
Origin API and 3rd-party integration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Django templates have an :class:`~django.template.base.Origin` object available
through the ``template.origin`` attribute. This enables debug information to be
displayed in the :ref:`template postmortem <template-postmortem>`, as well as
in 3rd-party libraries, like the `Django Debug Toolbar`_.
Custom engines can provide their own ``template.origin`` information by
creating an object that specifies the following attributes:
* ``'name'``: The full path to the template.
* ``'template_name'``: The relative path to the template as passed into the
template loading methods.
* ``'loader_name'``: An optional string identifying the function or class used
to load the template, e.g. ``django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader``.
