javascript - Django include html without parsing template tags -

i'm creating django based web app server-side rendered. there few pages re-render using javascript feed.

i prefer use dry approach , re-use existing django templates, include them onto page inside tags.

then can use template library of choice (there many support django templates)

• jinjajs https://github.com/ericclemmons/jinja.js
• jinjajs ii https://github.com/sstur/jinja-js
• swig http://paularmstrong.github.io/swig/
• plate https://github.com/chrisdickinson/plate
• twigjs https://github.com/justjohn/twig.js

however i'm stuck on simplest thing, include template without parsing! here attempted approaches don't work

expected output

<ul>     <li>john doe</a></li>     <li>sally taylor</a></li>     <li>david smith</a></li> </ul> <script type="text/template">     <ul>     {% person in people %}         <li>{{ person.name }}</a></li>     {% endfor %}     </ul> </script> 

approach 1 - works have repeat same html twice

index.html

{% include "includes/list.html" %} <script type="text/template">     {% include "includes/list.html" script=1 %} </script> 

list.html

{% if script = 1 %} {% verbatim %}     <ul>         {% person in people %}             <li>{{ person.name }}</a></li>         {% endfor %}     </ul> {% endverbatim %} {% else %} <ul>     {% person in people %}         <li>{{ person.name }}</a></li>     {% endfor %} </ul> {% endif %} 

approach 2 - doesn't output after reaches loop

index.html

{% include "includes/list.html" %} <script type="text/template">     {% include_raw "includes/list.html" %} </script> 

tags.py

from django import template django.template import loader, context  register = template.library()  @register.simple_tag def include_raw(templatename):     return loader.get_template(templatename).render(context()) 

any appreciated!

so solved using solution: https://gist.github.com/henrikjoreteg/742160

the code make work was:

index.html

{% load pages_tags %} {% include "includes/list.html" %} <script type="text/template">     {% raw_include "includes/list.html" %} </script> 

list.html

<ul>     {% person in people %}         <li>{{ person.name }}</a></li>     {% endfor %} </ul> 

pages_tags.py

from django import template, conf register = template.library()  @register.simple_tag def raw_include(path):     import os.path      template_dir in conf.settings.template_dirs:         filepath = '%s/%s' % (template_dir, path)         if os.path.isfile(filepath):             break      fp = open(filepath, 'r')     output = fp.read()     fp.close()     return output 

here example project showing working together, including rendering client-side templates javascript:

and made jsperf test performance of different jinja style templating libraries:
