JSONite - The Python-to-Javascript variable transformer for Masonite
This package is intended to be used alongside the Masonite Framework and allows you to pass Python variables to your base template. If no data is passed to the Javascript object on a particular request then the object returns an empty string, else it returns a JSON object featuring the passed data.
Installation:
JSONite can be installed in your Masonite project's home directory with pip:
pip install JSONiteSetup
After installing JSONite, you'll need to add the JavascriptProvider to your application providers in config/providers.py.
# config/providers.py
# ...
from jsonite import JavascriptProvider
# ...
PROVIDERS = [
# ...
# Third Party Providers
JavascriptProvider,
# ...
]
After adding the provider, you'll need to add the JavascripMiddleware class to config/middleware.py.
# config/middleware.py
# ...
from jsonite import JavascriptMiddleware
# ...
HTTP_MIDDLEWARE = [
# ...
JavascriptMiddleware,
]
# ...
Lastly, you'll want to add the line that actually renders the Javascript in your base.html file. By default the function name will be javascript_data(), but you can customize this by setting the desired value to the environment variable JS_TEMPLATE_VAR in your .env file.
<!-- template/base.html -->
<DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<!-- ... -->
<body>
<!-- ... -->
{{ javascript_data() }}
<!-- ... -->
</body>
</html>
