Jinja2 Simple Tags
Base classes for quick-and-easy template tag development
Overview
jinja2-simple-tags is a library that provides a simple way to create custom templatetags in Jinja2 templates. It is compatible with Python versions 3.6 and above, as well Jinja2 version 2.10 and above.
Features
- StandaloneTag: A tag that doesn't require a closing tag. It can be used to create custom tags in Jinja2 templates.
- Escaping: The output of StandaloneTag is escaped by default, but can be disabled by setting the safe_output property to True. You can also explicitly mark the output as safe by returning a jinja2.Markup object from the render() method.
- ContainerTag: A tag that requires a closing tag and can contain arbitrary content. It can be used to create custom tags in Jinja2 templates.
- Context: The current context can be accessed using the self.context attribute of the tag class.
- Assignment: Both ContainerTag and StandaloneTag support assigning the output to a variable in the context using the as keyword.

It provides two tag types, StandaloneTag and ContainerTag, which can be used to create custom tags that either require or don't require a closing tag.
