pongo2 is a Django-syntax like templating-language (official website).
Install/update using go get (no dependencies required by pongo2):
go get -u github.com/flosch/pongo2/v4Please 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!).

<!-- This will call user.String() automatically if available: -->
{{ user }}

<!-- 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>

<p>This user is an admin!</p>

<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 -->

</html>- Syntax- and feature-set-compatible with Django 1.7
- 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)
- date / time: The
dateandtimefilter are taking the Golang specific time- and date-format (not Django's one) currently. Take a look on the format here. - stringformat:
stringformatdoes not take Python's string format syntax as a parameter, instead it takes Go's. Essentially{{ 3.14|stringformat:"pi is %.2f" }}isfmt.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 aforce_escape-filter yet.
- for: All the
forloopfields (likeforloop.counter) are written with a capital letter at the beginning. For example, thecountercan be accessed byforloop.Counterand the parentloop byforloop.Parentloop. - now: takes Go's time format (see date and time-filter).
- 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 %}.
- 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.
- 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
- Build'n support for Iris' template engine
- pongo2gin - alternative renderer for gin to use pongo2 templates
- pongo2-trans -
trans-tag implementation for internationalization - tpongo2 - pongo2 support for Tango, a micro-kernel & pluggable web framework.
- p2cli - command line templating utility based on pongo2
- Pongo2echo - pongo2 echo framework stability renderer [stnc]
- Pongo2gin - pongo2 gin minimal framework stability renderer [stnc]
