Installation¶
$ pip install flask-stache
Getting Started¶
There are two methods of rendering templates when using Flask-Stache: The render_view and render_template methods. They are used like so:
from flask import Flask
from flask_stache import render_view, render_template
class Home(object):
def msg(self):
return "Home"
app = Flask(__name__)
app.debug = True
@app.route('/')
def home():
return render_view(Home())
@app.route('/about')
def about():
return render_template('about/index', msg="About")
Notice the view object named Home used with render_view. The template for this view should be a file named home.mustache and located at the root of the application’s template folder:
<app_root>/templates/home.mustache
Now notice the use of render_template in the about view. This should look familiar to Flask’s render_template method. Simply pass the name of the template and the template context to this method. The template for the about viewshould be a file named index.mustache and located in a subfolder of the application’s template folder named about:
<app_root>/templates/about/index.mustache
The main difference here is that file extensions are not necessary.
