pongo2

pongo2 is the successor of pongo, a Django-syntax like templating-language.

Install/update using go get (no dependencies required by pongo2):

go get -u github.com/flosch/pongo2

Please use the issue tracker if you're encountering any problems with pongo2 or if you need help with implementing tags or filters (create a ticket!). If possible, please use playground to create a short test case on what's wrong and include the link to the snippet in your issue.

New: Try pongo2 out in the pongo2 playground.

First impression of a template

<html><head><title>Our admins and users</title></head>
{# This is a short example to give you a quick overview of pongo2's syntax. #}

{% macro user_details(user, is_admin=false) %}
	<div class="user_item">
		<!-- Let's indicate a user's good karma -->
		<h2 {% if (user.karma >= 40) || (user.karma > calc_avg_karma(userlist)+5) %}
			class="karma-good"{% endif %}>
			
			<!-- This will call user.String() automatically if available: -->
			{{ user }}
		</h2>

		<!-- Will print a human-readable time duration like "3 weeks ago" -->
		<p>This user registered {{ user.register_date|naturaltime }}.</p>
		
		<!-- Let's allow the users to write down their biography using markdown;
		     we will only show the first 15 words as a preview -->
		<p>The user's biography:</p>
		<p>{{ user.biography|markdown|truncatewords_html:15 }}
			<a href="/user/{{ user.id }}/">read more</a></p>
		
		{% if is_admin %}<p>This user is an admin!</p>{% endif %}
	</div>
{% endmacro %}

<body>
	<!-- Make use of the macro defined above to avoid repetitive HTML code
	     since we want to use the same code for admins AND members -->
	
	<h1>Our admins</h1>
	{% for admin in adminlist %}
		{{ user_details(admin, true) }}
	{% endfor %}
	
	<h1>Our members</h1>
	{% for user in userlist %}
		{{ user_details(user) }}
	{% endfor %}
</body>
</html>

Development status

Latest stable release: v3.0 (go get -u gopkg.in/flosch/pongo2.v3 / v3-branch) [read the announcement]

Current development: v4 (master-branch)

Note: With the release of pongo v4 the branch v2 will be deprecated.

Deprecated versions (not supported anymore): v1

Topic	Status
Django version compatibility:	1.7
Missing (planned) filters:	none (hints)
Missing (planned) tags:	none (hints)

Please also have a look on the caveats and on the official add-ons.

Features (and new in pongo2)

Entirely rewritten from the ground-up.
Advanced C-like expressions.
Complex function calls within expressions.
Easy API to create new filters and tags (including parsing arguments)
Additional features:
- Macros including importing macros from other files (see template_tests/macro.tpl)
- Template sandboxing (directory patterns, banned tags/filters)

Recent API changes within pongo2

If you're using the master-branch of pongo2, you might be interested in this section. Since pongo2 is still in development (even though there is a first stable release!), there could be (backwards-incompatible) API changes over time. To keep track of these and therefore make it painless for you to adapt your codebase, I'll list them here.

Function signature for tag execution changed: not taking a bytes.Buffer anymore; instead Execute()-functions are now taking a TemplateWriter interface.
Function signature for tag and filter parsing/execution changed (error return type changed to *Error).
INodeEvaluator has been removed and got replaced by IEvaluator. You can change your existing tags/filters by simply replacing the interface.
Two new helper functions: RenderTemplateFile() and RenderTemplateString().
Template.ExecuteRW() is now Template.ExecuteWriter()
Template.Execute*() functions do now take a pongo2.Context directly (no pointer anymore).

How you can help

Write filters / tags (see tutorial) by forking pongo2 and sending pull requests
Write/improve code tests (use the following command to see what tests are missing: go test -v -cover -covermode=count -coverprofile=cover.out && go tool cover -html=cover.out or have a look on gocover.io/github.com/flosch/pongo2)
Write/improve template tests (see the template_tests/ directory)
Write middleware, libraries and websites using pongo2. :-)

Documentation

For a documentation on how the templating language works you can head over to the Django documentation. pongo2 aims to be compatible with it.

You can access pongo2's API documentation on godoc.

Caveats

Filters

date / time: The date and time filter are taking the Golang specific time- and date-format (not Django's one) currently. Take a look on the format here.
stringformat: stringformat does not take Python's string format syntax as a parameter, instead it takes Go's. Essentially {{ 3.14|stringformat:"pi is %.2f" }} is fmt.Sprintf("pi is %.2f", 3.14).
escape / force_escape: Unlike Django's behaviour, the escape-filter is applied immediately. Therefore there is no need for a force_escape-filter yet.

Misc

not in-operator: You can check whether a map/struct/string contains a key/field/substring by using the in-operator (or the negation of it): {% if key in map %}Key is in map{% else %}Key not in map{% endif %} or {% if !(key in map) %}Key is NOT in map{% else %}Key is in map{% endif %}.

Add-ons, libraries and helpers

Official

ponginae - A web-framework for Go (using pongo2).
pongo2-tools - Official tools and helpers for pongo2
pongo2-addons - Official additional filters/tags for pongo2 (for example a markdown-filter). They are in their own repository because they're relying on 3rd-party-libraries.

3rd-party

beego-pongo2 - A tiny little helper for using Pongo2 with Beego.
beego-pongo2.v2 - Same as beego-pongo2, but for pongo2 v2.
macaron-pongo2 - pongo2 support for Macaron, a modular web framework.
ginpongo2 - middleware for gin to use pongo2 templates
pongo2-trans - trans-tag implementation for internationalization
tpongo2 - pongo2 support for Tango, a micro-kernel & pluggable web framework.

Please add your project to this list and send me a pull request when you've developed something nice for pongo2.

API-usage examples

Please see the documentation for a full list of provided API methods.

A tiny example (template string)

// Compile the template first (i. e. creating the AST)
tpl, err := pongo2.FromString("Hello {{ name|capfirst }}!")
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
// Now you can render the template with the given 
// pongo2.Context how often you want to.
out, err := tpl.Execute(pongo2.Context{"name": "florian"})
if err != nil {
	panic(err)
}
fmt.Println(out) // Output: Hello Florian!

Example server-usage (template file)

package main

import (
	"github.com/flosch/pongo2"
	"net/http"
)

// Pre-compiling the templates at application startup using the
// little Must()-helper function (Must() will panic if FromFile()
// or FromString() will return with an error - that's it).
// It's faster to pre-compile it anywhere at startup and only
// execute the template later.
var tplExample = pongo2.Must(pongo2.FromFile("example.html"))

func examplePage(w http.ResponseWriter, r *http.Request) {
	// Execute the template per HTTP request
	err := tplExample.ExecuteWriter(pongo2.Context{"query": r.FormValue("query")}, w)
	if err != nil {
		http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
	}
}

func main() {
	http.HandleFunc("/", examplePage)
	http.ListenAndServe(":8080", nil)
}

Benchmark

The benchmarks have been run on the my machine (Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600 CPU @ 3.40GHz) using the command:

go test -bench . -cpu 1,2,4,8

All benchmarks are compiling (depends on the benchmark) and executing the template_tests/complex.tpl template.
