flask-jade2underscore 0.1

flask-jade2underscore is a tiny Flask extension that allows developers to easily use Jade to Underscore templates compiler, which is used in Backbone, with their Flask app.

Installation

Install with PIP

pip install flask-jade2underscore

Usage

This extension can be activated it by calling the jade2underscore function with your Flask app as a parameter:

from flaskext.jade2underscore import jade2underscore
jade2underscore(app, underscore_folder='templates', jade_folder='src/jade')

This will intercept the request to /static/underscore_folder and compile de file if is necesary using the files from jade_folder.

When you deploy your app you might not want to accept the overhead of checking the modification time of your .jade and .tpl files on each request. A simple way to avoid this is wrapping the jade2underscore call in an if statement:

if app.debug:
 from flaskext.jade2underscore import jade2underscore
 jade2underscore(app)

If you do this you’ll be responsible for rendering the .jade files into .tpl when you deploy in non-debug mode to your production server.
