Jinja Templates#
Jinja is a fast, expressive, and extensible templating engine for Python. It’s most commonly associated with Flask, but it’s also used in many other Python frameworks and applications.
Here’s what makes Jinja powerful:
Template inheritance: Create base templates and extend them with specific content
Control structures: Use if/else conditions, for loops, and macros in your templates
Filters: Transform values directly in templates using built-in or custom filters
Automatic escaping: Helps prevent XSS vulnerabilities by escaping HTML
A simple example of a Jinja template:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>{{ page_title }}</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, {{ name }}!</h1>
{% if items %}
<ul>
{% for item in items %}
<li>{{ item }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
<p>No items found.</p>
{% endif %}
</body>
</html>
When used with Flask, you’d render this template with something like:
@app.route('/')
def index():
return render_template('index.html',
page_title='My App',
name='User',
items=['Item 1', 'Item 2', 'Item 3'])
