• 📖 Complete documentation: https://dj-angles.adamghill.com/
• 📦 Package: https://pypi.org/project/dj-angles/

⭐ Features

• Use HTML-like elements in Django templates, e.g. <dj-partial /> instead of {% include 'partial.html' %}
• Can be sprinkled in as needed to enhance existing Django functionality
• Since it looks like HTML, syntax highlighting mostly "just works"
• Wraps included templates in a custom element for easier debugging and targeted CSS styling
• Support for making components with the Shadow DOM
• Integrates with Django component libraries like django-bird
• call and model template tags to call functions directly from a template
• dateformat filter to use Python strftime formats instead of PHP when formatting dates
• Submit forms via AJAX and swap in the resulting HTML

💥 Example

base.html

<dj-block name='content'>  <!-- {% block content %} -->
</dj-block>  <!-- {% endblock content %} -->

index.html

<dj-extends parent='base.html' />  <!-- {% extends 'base.html' %} -->

<dj-block name='content'>  <!-- {% block content %} -->
  <!-- components -->
  <dj-partial />  <!-- {% include 'partial.html' %} -->
  <dj-include template='partial.html' />  <!-- {% include 'partial.html' %} -->

  <!-- evaluate code from the template -->
  <dj-call code='slugify("Hello Goodbye")' as='variable_name' />  <!-- {% call slugify("Hello Goodbye") as variable_name %} -->
  <dj-model code='Book.objects.filter(id=1)' as='book' />  <!-- {% model Book.objects.filter(id=1) as book %} -->
