Template Designer Documentation — Jinja Documentation (3.1.x)

html 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 %}

🤯 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.

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"])
