Template Designer Documentation — Jinja Documentation (3.1.x) jinja.palletsprojects.com [1] html [2] code generated by my jinja templates generally look half garbage because of indents and whitespace all over the place. I just learned about these pesky Whitespace Control characters that can get rid of the whitespace added from templating. You can also strip whitespace in templates by hand. If you add a minus sign (-) to the start or end of a block (e.g. a For tag), a comment, or a variable expression, the whitespaces before or after that block will be removed: {% for item in seq -%} {{ item }} {%- endfor %} Note This post is a thought [3].

API — Jinja Documentation (3.1.x) jinja.palletsprojects.com [1] 🤯 jinja comes with a loader to pre-compile templates! Defihnitely need to look at this for markata, as jinja is till one of the biggest hot spots. Note This post is a thought [2].

[1] I’ve definitely been missing out on setting up a proper jinja loader on a few projects, I need to lean on this a bit more. class jinja2.FileSystemLoader(searchpath, encoding='utf-8', followlinks=False): ''' Load templates from a directory in the file system. ''' The path can be relative or absolute. Relative paths are relative to the current working directory. loader = FileSystemLoader("templates") # A list of paths can be given. The directories will be searched in order, stopping at the first matching template. loader = FileSystemLoader(["/override/templates", "/default/templates"]) Note This post is a thought [2].

Template Designer Documentation — Jinja Documentation (3.1.x) jinja.palletsprojects.com [1] A feature of jinja that I just discovered is including sub templates. Here is an example from the docs. {% include 'header.html' %} Body goes here. {% include 'footer.html' %} And inside of my thoughts project I used it to render posts. <ul id='posts'> {% for post in posts.__root__ %} {% include 'post_item.html' %} {% endfor %} </ul> note that post_item.html [2] automatically inherits the post variable.
