lribeiro.cherrypy.templating 1.0.1

Renderer parameters

You can optionally pass parameters to your renderer function by just passing additional arguments to the @template decorator

class Controller:
    @cherrypy.expose
    @template('template_name', 'some arg', some='keyword arg')
    # pass your additional parameters here
    def handler():
        pass

def renderer(template_name, context, *args, **kwargs):
    # and do something with the parameters here
    pass

Developed under Python3.4 and tested against Python2.7, Python3.4 and pypy.

Usage:

from os import path

import cherrypy
import pystache

from lribeiro.cherrypy.templating import template


def _renderer(template_name, context):
    """
    Template renderer using Pystache
    """

    search_dir = path.join(path.dirname(path.abspath(__file__)), 'templates')
    renderer = pystache.Renderer(file_extension='html', search_dirs=search_dir)

    template_str = renderer.load_template(template_name)
    return renderer.render(template_str, context)


class Root:
    @cherrypy.expose
    @template('index')
    def index(self):
        return {'name': 'Lorem', 'lastname': 'Ipsum'}

    @cherrypy.expose
    @template('page')
    def page(self):
        return {'name': 'Lorem', 'lastname': 'Ipsum'}

    @cherrypy.expose
    @template('page_with_args', 'some', 'arg')
    def page_with_args(self):
        return {'name': 'Lorem', 'lastname': 'Ipsum'}

    @cherrypy.expose
    @template('page_with_args', some='keyword arg')
    def page_with_args(self):
        return {'name': 'Lorem', 'lastname': 'Ipsum'}

    '/': {
        'templating.renderer': _renderer,
