Loading Templates

Templates can be loaded from files. The loader.TemplateLoader class makes it easy to access a list of directories for templates.

First you need to create a TemplateLoader

>>> from knights.loader import TemplateLoader
>>> loader = TemplateLoader(['templates'])

The list of paths provided will be resolved relative to the CWD.

Now you can ask the loader to find a template in any of the supplied directories:

>>> t = loader.load('index.html')

Additionally, the loader will act as a cache if used like a dict:

>>> t = loader['index.html']  # Will load and parse the class
>>> s = loader['index.html']  # Will reuse the existing instance
