Blocks for Django pages

---

Warning

This is a quite simple way to put pieces of content into a page and reuse it. I know that it will be more robust and powerful solutions to do it. I use it for projects that fits well.

I'm always learning, so any suggestions are welcomed :)

Description

Blocks allows to put some rendered content into a template with tags.

• Define your blocks in your app in blocks.py file.
• The blocks are defined as functions in the file with their name ending with _blocks.
• Blocks should return rendered content for the template.
• You can get blocks with {% get_block "name" %} where "name" is the function name with its namespace.

Example

In your app, in blocks.py:

def foo_block():
	return 'Hello World!'

def foo_with_argument(arg):
	return 'Hello %s!' % arg

Then you can get this block into the template:

{% get_block "app.blocks.foo_block" %}

{% get_block "app.blocks.foo_with_argument" "World"}
