|
|
-Upgrading templates to Django 1.8
|
|
|
-=================================
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Django's template system was overhauled in Django 1.8 when it gained support
|
|
|
-for multiple template engines. This document complements the :doc:`release
|
|
|
-notes </releases/1.8>` with detailed upgrade instructions on some topics.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The :setting:`TEMPLATES` settings
|
|
|
-=================================
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-A new setting was introduced in Django 1.8: :setting:`TEMPLATES`. All existing
|
|
|
-template-related settings were deprecated.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-During the deprecation period, Django will create a backwards-compatible
|
|
|
-:setting:`TEMPLATES` based on the ``TEMPLATE_*`` settings if you don't define
|
|
|
-it yourself.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Here's how to define :setting:`TEMPLATES` in your settings module.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If you're using the default value of ``TEMPLATE_LOADERS``, that is, if it
|
|
|
-isn't defined in your settings file or if it's set to::
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- ['django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
|
|
|
- 'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader']
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-then you should define :setting:`TEMPLATES` as follows::
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- TEMPLATES = [
|
|
|
- {
|
|
|
- 'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
|
|
|
- 'DIRS': [
|
|
|
- # insert your TEMPLATE_DIRS here
|
|
|
- ],
|
|
|
- 'APP_DIRS': True,
|
|
|
- 'OPTIONS': {
|
|
|
- 'context_processors': [
|
|
|
- # Insert your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS here or use this
|
|
|
- # list if you haven't customized them:
|
|
|
- 'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
|
|
|
- 'django.template.context_processors.debug',
|
|
|
- 'django.template.context_processors.i18n',
|
|
|
- 'django.template.context_processors.media',
|
|
|
- 'django.template.context_processors.static',
|
|
|
- 'django.template.context_processors.tz',
|
|
|
- 'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
|
|
|
- ],
|
|
|
- },
|
|
|
- },
|
|
|
- ]
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If you aren't using the default value of ``TEMPLATE_LOADERS``, then you should
|
|
|
-define :setting:`TEMPLATES` as follows::
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- TEMPLATES = [
|
|
|
- {
|
|
|
- 'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
|
|
|
- 'DIRS': [
|
|
|
- # insert your TEMPLATE_DIRS here
|
|
|
- ],
|
|
|
- 'OPTIONS': {
|
|
|
- 'context_processors': [
|
|
|
- # Insert your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS here or use this
|
|
|
- # list if you haven't customized them:
|
|
|
- 'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
|
|
|
- 'django.template.context_processors.debug',
|
|
|
- 'django.template.context_processors.i18n',
|
|
|
- 'django.template.context_processors.media',
|
|
|
- 'django.template.context_processors.static',
|
|
|
- 'django.template.context_processors.tz',
|
|
|
- 'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
|
|
|
- ],
|
|
|
- 'loaders': [
|
|
|
- # insert your TEMPLATE_LOADERS here
|
|
|
- ]
|
|
|
- },
|
|
|
- },
|
|
|
- ]
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Furthermore you should replace ``django.core.context_processors`` with
|
|
|
-``django.template.context_processors`` in the names of context processors.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If your settings module defines ``ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS`` or
|
|
|
-``TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID``, include their values under the
|
|
|
-``'allowed_include_roots'`` and ``'string_if_invalid'`` keys in the
|
|
|
-``'OPTIONS'`` dictionary.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If it sets ``TEMPLATE_DEBUG`` to a value that differs from :setting:`DEBUG`,
|
|
|
-include that value under the ``'debug'`` key in ``'OPTIONS'``.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Once you have defined :setting:`TEMPLATES`, you can safely remove
|
|
|
-``ALLOWED_INCLUDE_ROOTS``, ``TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS``,
|
|
|
-``TEMPLATE_DEBUG``, ``TEMPLATE_DIRS``, ``TEMPLATE_LOADERS``, and
|
|
|
-``TEMPLATE_STRING_IF_INVALID``.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If you are overriding some of these settings in tests, you should override the
|
|
|
-entire :setting:`TEMPLATES` setting instead.

-:mod:`django.template.loader`
|
|
|
-=============================
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-.. _get_template-upgrade-django-18:
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-:func:`~django.template.loader.get_template` and :func:`~django.template.loader.select_template`
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-In Django 1.8 :func:`~django.template.loader.get_template` and
|
|
|
-:func:`~django.template.loader.select_template` return a backend-dependent
|
|
|
-``Template`` instead of a :class:`django.template.Template`.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-For example, if :func:`~django.template.loader.get_template` loads a template
|
|
|
-with a :class:`~django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates` backend, then
|
|
|
-it returns a ``django.template.backends.django.Template``.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-``Template`` objects must provide a
|
|
|
-:meth:`~django.template.backends.base.Template.render` method whose signature
|
|
|
-differs slightly from the Django template language's
|
|
|
-:meth:`~django.template.Template.render`.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Instead of::
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- from django.template import Context
|
|
|
- from django.template.loader import get_template
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- template = get_template('hello.html')
|
|
|
- html = template.render(Context({'name': 'world'}))
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-You should write::
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- from django.template.loader import get_template
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- template = get_template('hello.html')
|
|
|
- html = template.render({'name': 'world'})
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-And instead of::
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- from django.template import RequestContext
|
|
|
- from django.template.loader import get_template
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- template = get_template('hello.html')
|
|
|
- html = template.render(RequestContext(request, {'name': 'world'}))
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-You should write::
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- from django.template.loader import get_template
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- template = get_template('hello.html')
|
|
|
- html = template.render({'name': 'world'}, request)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Passing a :class:`~django.template.Context` or a
|
|
|
-:class:`~django.template.RequestContext` is still possible when the template
|
|
|
-is loaded by a :class:`~django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates`
|
|
|
-backend but it's deprecated and won't be supported in Django 1.10.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If you're loading a template while you're rendering another template with the
|
|
|
-Django template language and you have access to the current context, for
|
|
|
-instance in the ``render()`` method of a template tag, you can use the current
|
|
|
-:class:`~django.template.Engine` directly. Instead of::
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- from django.template.loader import get_template
|
|
|
- template = get_template('included.html')
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-You can write::
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- template = context.template.engine.get_template('included.html')
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-This will load the template with the current engine without triggering the
|
|
|
-multiple template engines machinery, which is usually the desired behavior.
|
|
|
-Unlike previous solutions, this returns a :class:`django.template.Template`,
|
|
|
-like :func:`~django.template.loader.get_template` used to in Django 1.7 and
|
|
|
-earlier, avoiding all backwards-compatibility problems.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-``get_template_from_string()``
|
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Private API ``get_template_from_string(template_code)`` was removed in Django
|
|
|
-1.8 because it had no way to choose an engine to compile the template.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Three alternatives are available.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-If you control the project's setting, you can use one of the configured
|
|
|
-engines::
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- from django.template import engines
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- template = engines['django'].from_string(template_code)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-This returns a backend-dependent ``Template`` object.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-For trivial templates that don't need context processors nor anything else,
|
|
|
-you can create a bare-bones engine and use its ``from_string()`` method::
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- from django.template import Engine
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- template = Engine().from_string(template_code)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-This returns a :class:`django.template.Template` because
|
|
|
-:class:`~django.template.Engine` is part of the Django template language's
|
|
|
-APIs. The multiple template engines machinery isn't involved here.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-Finally, if you have access to the current context, you can use the same trick
|
|
|
-as above::
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
- template = context.template.engine.from_string(template_code)
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-``Template()``
|
|
|
-==============
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-To a lesser extent, instantiating a template with ``Template(template_code)``
|
|
|
-suffers from the same issue as ``get_template_from_string()``.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-It still works when the :setting:`TEMPLATES` setting defines exactly one
|
|
|
-:class:`~django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates` backend, but
|
|
|
-pluggable applications can't control this requirement.
|
|
|
-
|
|
|
-The last two solutions described in the previous section are recommended in
|
|
|
-that case.
