Markata now allows you to create jinja extensions that will be loaded right in
with nothing more than a pip install.
From the Changelog
The entry for 0.5.0.dev2 from markata's changelog
- Created entrypoint hook allowing for users to extend marka with jinja exensions #60 0.5.0.dev2
markata-gh
The first example that you can use right now is markata-gh. It will render
repos by GitHub topic and user using the gh cli, which is available in github
actions!
Get it with a pip install
pip install markata-gh
Use it with some jinja in your markdown.
## Markata plugins
It uses the logged in uer by default.
{% gh_repo_list_topic "markata" %}
You can more explicitly grab your username, and a topic.
{% gh_repo_list_topic "waylonwalker", "personal-website" %}
How is this achieved
The jinja extension details are for another post, but this is how markata-gh
exposes itslef as a jinja extension.
class GhRepoListTopic(Extension):
tags = {"gh_repo_list_topic"}
def __init__(self, environment):
super().__init__(environment)
def parse(self, parser):
line_number = next(parser.stream).lineno
try:
args = parser.parse_tuple().items
except AttributeError:
raise AttributeError(
"Invalid Syntax gh_repo_list_topic expects <username>, or <username>,<topic> both must have the comma"
)
return nodes.CallBlock(self.call_method("run", args), [], [], "").set_lineno(
line_number
)
def run(self, username=None, topic=None, caller=None):
"get's markdown to inject into post"
return repo_md(username=username, topic=topic)
Entrypoints
Then markata-gh exposes itself as an extension through entrypoints.
Creating entrypoints in pyproject.toml
If your project is using pyproject.toml for packaging you can setup an
entrypoint as follows.
[project.entry-points."markata.jinja_md"]
markta_gh = "markata_gh.repo_list:GhRepoListTopic"
Creating entrypoints in setup.py
If your project is using setup.py for packaging you can setup an
entrypoint as follows.
setup(
...
entry_points={
"markata.jinja_md": ["markta_gh" = "markata_gh.repo_list:GhRepoListTopic"]
},
...
)
