Python Liquid¶
Release v1.8.1
A Python implementation of Liquid. A non evaling templating language suitable for end users.
Also see documentation at https://jg-rp.github.io/liquid/.
Installation¶
Install and update using pip:
$ python -m pip install -U python-liquid
Quick Start¶
Render a template string by creating a Template and calling its render method.
>>> from liquid import Template
>>> template = Template("Hello, {{ you }}!")
>>> template.render(you="World")
'Hello, World!'
>>> template.render(you="Dave")
'Hello, Dave!'
Keyword arguments passed to render are made available as variables for templates
to use in Liquid expressions.
If you want to use the built-in include or render tags, you’ll need to create an
Environment, with a template Loader, then load and render templates from that
environment.
This example assumes a folder called templates exists in the current working
directory, and that the template file index.html exists within it.
>>> from liquid import Environment, FileSystemLoader
>>> env = Environment(loader=FileSystemLoader("templates/"))
>>> template = env.get_template("index.html")
>>> template.render(some="variable", other="thing")
You can create templates from strings using an Environment too. This is often more
efficient than using Template directly.
>>> from liquid import Environment
>>> env = Environment()
>>> template = env.from_string("""
... <html>
... {% for i in (1..3) -%}
... <p>hello {{ some }} {{ i }}</p>
... {% endfor -%}
... </html>
... """)
>>> print(template.render(some="thing"))
<html>
<p>hello thing 1</p>
<p>hello thing 2</p>
<p>hello thing 3</p>
</html>
