jinja #

Jinja (3.x) server-side template engine port for Dart 2. Variables, expressions, control structures and template inheritance.

Version 0.5.0 introduces breaking changes #

Auto-escaping and related filters and tests have been removed due to the impossibility of extending String. Use the escape filter manually or escape values before passing them to the template.

For more information, see CHANGELOG.md.

Documentation #

It is mostly similar to Jinja templates documentation, differences provided below. work in progress.

Differences with Python version #

• The default filter compares values with null; there is no boolean parameter.
• The defined and undefined tests compare values with null.
• The map filter also compares values with null. Use attribute and item filters for object.attribute and object[item] expressions.
• If Environment({getAttribute}) is not passed, the getItem method will be used. This allows you to use {{ map.key }} as an expression equivalent to {{ map['key'] }}.
• Not yet supported:
  • Slices and negative indexes
  • Conditional and variable extends statement variants
  • Choice, ignore missing and variable include statement variants
• work in progress

Dynamically invoked members #

• [], +, -, *, /, ~/, % operators
• object.length getter
• object.call getter
• Function.apply(function, ...)

Example #

import 'package:jinja/jinja.dart';

// ...

var environment = Environment(blockStart: '...', blockEnd: '...');
var template = environment.fromString('...source...');
print(template.render({'key': value}));
// or write directly to StringSink (IOSink, HttpResponse, ...)
template.renderTo(stringSink, {'key': value});
