Jinja (3.x) server-side template engine port for Dart 2. Variables, expressions, control structures and template inheritance.

• FilterArgumentError error class removed
• *args and **kwargs arguments support removed
• Auto-escaping and related statements, filters and tests have been removed due to the impossibility of extending String. Use the escape filter manually or escape values before passing them to the template.

For more information, see CHANGELOG.md.

It is mostly similar to Jinja templates documentation, differences provided below.

work in progress.

• The default filter compares values with null.
• The defined and undefined tests compare values with null.
• The map filter also compares values with null. Use attribute and item filters for object.attribute and object[item] expressions.
• If Environment({getAttribute}) is not passed, the getItem method will be used. This allows you to use {{ map.key }} as an expression equivalent to {{ map['key'] }}.
• Slices and negative indexes are not supported.
• Macro arguments without default values are required.
• Not supported:
  • Template module.
• work in progress

• [], , -, *, /, ~/, % operators
• object.length getter
• object.call getter
• Function.apply(function, ...)

import 'package:jinja/jinja.dart';

// ...

var environment = Environment(blockStart: '...', blockEnd: '...');
var template = environment.fromString('...source...');
print(template.render({'key': value}));
// or write directly to StringSink (IOSink, HttpResponse, ...)
template.renderTo(stringSink, {'key': value});
