How to make Django template engine to render in memory templates?
Question:
I am storing my templates in the database and I don’t have any path to provide for the template.render method.
Is there any exposed method which accepts the template as a string?
Is there any workaround?
Answers:
Instantiate Template with the string to use as a template.
In Django < 1.8:
from django.template.loader import get_template_from_string
tpl = Template(get_template_from_string("My name is {{ my_name }}."))
Based on the the docs for using the template system:
from django.template import Template, Context
t = Template("My name is {{ my_name }}.")
c = Context({"my_name": "Adrian"})
t.render(c)
