django-meio-easytagsAs easy way to create templatetags in Django

Who am I?

• My name is Vinicius Mendes;

• I work with Python and Django for 3 years;

• I live in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil;

• I work for globo.com;

• django-brasil community co-manager.


Why?

• Django templatetags demands too much work to write, mainly parsing;

• It’s not DRY;

• There’s a pattern that many template tags follow.


Templatetags Patterns

• {% tag_name %}

• {% tag_name var %}

• {% tag_name “val” %}

• {% tag_name arg=var %}

• {% tag_name var “val” arg=var arg2=”val” %}

• {% tag_name as var_name %}


What?

• A layer that abstracts templatetags parsing;

• Make writing templatetags as easy as writing a Python function.
