Level 18: User defined template types¶
Since moban version 4.1, custom template types can be defined to deviate from default configurations of the template engines. In addition, the configuration possibilities are:
- associate your own file extensions
- choose your own template engine extensions
Evaluation¶
Please go to docs/level-4-single-command directory.
Here is the .moban.yml, which inserts template_types on top of the moban file found in level 4:
configuration:
template_types:
my_own_type:
base_type: jinja2
file_extensions:
- file_type_of_my_choice
options:
extensions:
- jinja2_time.TimeExtension
targets:
- a.output: a.template.file_type_of_my_choice
where template_types is a dictionary of different custom types.
Also, you can define your template on the fly by putting the template parameters inside targets. One such example is:
targets:
- output: b.output
template: a.template.jj2
template_type:
base_type: jinja2
options:
block_end_string: '*))'
block_start_string: '((*'
variable_start_string: '((('
variable_end_string: ')))'
