Ask HN: Django templates are a tad bit annoying to set up. Right? So, I like django templates, a lot, and I have used them quite a bit. The sheer variety of built-in tags and filters and the ability to define custom ones is great... Here's what I don't like: the effort that goes into setting up a fresh template starting from a raw HTML page. Every time I start a new project I need to lookup-up django docs for these info nuggets:
Besides, the above is just the necessary first step and the real work of wiring-up the context variables is still ahead of us...When I had freshly started with django I did find this a tad bit overwhelming. Today, if you are a fresher to django - do you feel this way? After working on several django projects I find this "template deal" to be somewhat of an annoyance. If you are a django veteran - do you too feel this way? Would love to know your thoughts and opinions on this. |
