I'm using CKEditor in my flask app to give users WYSIWYG in my text fields, and I'm loading the script in the base.html jinja template.
However, I get console errors in the templates where I don't have a text field:
[CKEDITOR] Error code: editor-incorrect-element.
Object { element: "description" }
Is there a workaround for this?
Thank you!!
I solved this by adding an empty block in my base.html instead of the script:
{% block CKEditor_js %}
{% endblock CKEditor_js %}
Then I added the script in a block at the bottom of the pages I need the script:
{% block CKEditor_js %}
<script src="{{ url_for('static', filename='js/cke.js') }}"></script>
{% endblock CKEditor_js %}
And finally a very small JS file, in this case cke.js, with just:
CKEDITOR.replace("description");

I have a base_generic.html page in django that has the standard UI elements (navbar, footer, etc.), and I have a list.html page which extends the base_generic.html page. The list.html page is using a javascript function that is only used in this page, but for it to work, I have to include it in the base_generic.html page.
How can I include this javascript function in list.html using Django's built-in template tags and features?
Should I use {% verbatim %} or {% scripts %} or another tag template?
Should I include this inline with the {% block content %} that has the html for this django template, or should I place it before or after the {% block content %}?
You have several ways of accomplish what you want:
Just add the javascript snippet inside the {% block content %}
{% block content %}
my javascript();
{% endblock content %}
Use the include statement to a file with your javascript, again, inside the {% block content %}
{% include 'my_javascript.html' %}
In this way, you can reuse your javascript code on other pages.
Create a new block in base_generic.html, like:
{% block my_javascript %}{% endblock my_javascript %}
And in you child template, add the javascript as told in the first points iside these tags, in this case it can be outside or inside the {% block content %}.
An alternative would be pass the path for the js file in your views.py:
context = {
'scripts_to_include':['/static/js/my_js_file.js']
}
You can obviously include multiple js files here. Then, in your template:
{% if scripts_to_include %}
{% for script_url in scripts_to_include %}
<script src="{{script_url}}"></script>
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}
I like this, cause the js files can still be stored in a directory (instead of putting it right into html), JS files are also reusable.
I have a question about, how to separate a loading specify javascript file of specify template twig file.
I got for example admin.html.twig which extends base.html.twig, in base i got
{% block javascripts %}
<script src="/assets/js/core/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/js/core/popper.min.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/js/core/bootstrap-material-design.min.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/js/plugins/perfect-scrollbar.jquery.min.js"></script>
<script async defer src="https://buttons.github.io/buttons.j"></script>
<script src="/assets/js/plugins/chartist.min.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/js/plugins/bootstrap-notify.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/js/material-dashboard.min.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/demo/jquery.sharrre.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/js/sparkline.js"></script>
<script src="/assets/js/plugins/chartjs.min.js"></script>
{% endblock %}
and I got next file like dashboard.html.twig which extends a admin.html.twig file, and my question is that in dashboard.html.twig file i got at the a little writed-self small javascript code, and this javascript of course use a jquery library but this library i loaded in base.html.twig file a next of my selfwrited script which is in dashboard.html.twig.
My question is, how i can for example load my small code of javascript (of course i can save it in separated file like mycode.js) but how to load only when this route of dashboard.html.twig file i used and after jquery is loaded ? becouse in another routers i dont need this mycode.js so I dont wanna put it to base.html.twig file in javascript block, any idea ?
If dashboard directly extends admin then u can do the following to ensure to load all the admin scripts and to add the dashboard specific script:
{% extends "admin.html.twig" %}
{% block javascripts %}
{{ parent() }} {# execute the parent block, thus loading all scripts in admin #}
<script src="/assets/js/dashboard/mycode.js"></script>
{% endblock %}
You can dived
{% extends "admin.html.twig" %} {# use only in case your all templates are at the same places like app/Resources/views/admin.html.twig #}
{% block javascripts %}
{{ parent() }} {# loads the parent javascript block, from the template you are extending in first line. #}
<script src="/assets/js/dashboard/code.js"></script>
{% endblock %}
in case you are trying to extend a template from another bundle then you can use this
{% extends "YourBundleName:Default:admin.html.twig" %} {# YourControllerRelativeName just in case your view structure is like views/Default/admin.html.twig#}
{% block javascripts %}
{{ parent() }} {# loads the parent javascript block, from the template you are extending in first line. #}
<script src="/assets/js/dashboard/code.js"></script>
{% endblock %}
to the better understanding you should read a little here:
https://symfony.com/doc/2.8/templating.html
Note:- in the documents you should change version as per your current version.
I would suggest the following solution.
Declare the following block in base.html.twig after {% block javascripts %}{% endblock %}
{% block javascript_page %}{# specific code for current page #}{% endblock %}
Then in your page you can include page specific scripts
{% extends "admin.html.twig" %} or {% extends "base.html.twig" %}
{% block javascript_page %}
<script src="/assets/js/pages/my_page.js"></script>
{% endblock %}
Although answer by DarkBee is also correct but in this way you don't have to worry about calling {{ parent() }} in each page.
I've in Django 1.11 a base.html which contains all the scripts references.
Then, I've another page.html that extendes base.html with {% extends base.html %} and {% block content %} / {% endblock content %} tags.
Well. In base.html I've a reference to Chartjs.js plugin. In page.html, if I try to call to Chart() function or just $ jquery, I get "function is not defined". If I open console debugger and try to call $ or just Chart(), it works. So I think that there's a problem with loading time. The page.html is rendered before the js are downloaded or requested!
How can I solve it? I've done it before, I don't know what could be the problem.
Thanks!
Without your code showing, hard to tell. Based on what you wrote, perhaps you forgot to put a block and block.super to get the parent (base.html's) Chartjs reference.
This should be in your page.html at the bottom after your {% endblock content %} tag. See example below (using DataTables as example since your code is not shown):
</div>
{% endblock content %}
{% block javascript %}
{{ block.super }}
<script type="application/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$('#table').DataTable({
responsive: true,
});
});
</script>
{% endblock javascript %}
Base.html would have the js section enclosed in
{% block javascript %} …. {% endblock javascript %}
I'm trying to find out how to run JavaScript in Django to create chained forms. But at the first I want to find out how to even run JavaScript. I've created a simple main.js file which is in static forder.
I've added a path to main.js into the head of html. And the script have to run when the page is loaded (just to be sure that I can step forward).
I've put alert on the beginning of the function so I can see whether the js has been run. But I can't see no alert nor js in chrome inspect.
Could you guys tell me where is the problem?
main.js
$(document).ready(function(){
alert("OK")
$.ajax({
url: "get-possible-levels/",
type: "POST",
data: {language: $('#id_language').val()},
})
})
template:
{% extends 'base.html' %}
{% load static %}
{% block head %}
<script src="{% static "js/main.js" %}"></script>
{% endblock %}
{% block content %}
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<form action="" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">{% csrf_token %}
{{ language_form }}
<button value="Update" type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
{% endif %}
{% endblock %}
View:
#login_required
def create_order(request):
language_form = LanguageLevelForm(request.POST or None)
return render(request,'auth/jobs/create-job-test.html',context={'language_form':language_form})
EDIT: The main.js seems to be executed but it does not alert anything. I've checked inspect (and I've tried to put semicolon after alert('ok')) :
Your {% load static %} should be {% load staticfiles %}. After that try refreshing the page the way I described in my comment. BTW Are you actually including JQuery? Your question is about JavaScript. You should try to use a vanilla JavaScript alert before adding JQuery code just to troubleshoot it. If you can get that working try adding this to your <head>
<script src="jquery-1.12.0.min.js"></script>
Check if you have the path to the js file wrong.if your project folder has 2 folders inside (one with html files and 1 with Js files) then on your path with the ../ you go up one level on your folder and then go inside your javascript folder to find the file. So instead of
<script src="{% static "js/main.js" %}"></script>
write
<script src="../js/main.js"></script>
Is there a good, performant and/or recommended way to declare and provide JS dependencies for blocks in Django templates?
Basically what I want to do is this:
In a Django template file containing a block, declare: I need JS library X to function.
In the tag of the page, upon rendering the page, insert a script tag for this library, but never more than once.
The reasons:
Minimize number of unnecessary JS libraries included in the page to keep load time acceptable in old browsers. (some libs like jquery-ui are very heavyweight for old IEs)
Prevent potentially repeated loading of JS libraries, both for performance and bug-prevention reasons. This happens when you have repeated blocks or multiple blocks including the same JS lib.
I've seen some potential solutions to this but none of them were very compelling from a performance or clarity perspective, so far.
You could use the {% include %} template tag. If you load js into the header you could do something like this:
base.html
<head>
<title>XXXX</title>
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ STATIC_URL}}js/jquery.js"></script>
...
{% block site_header %}{% endblock %}
</head>
other.html
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block site_header %}
...
<script type="text/javascript" src="{{ STATIC_URL }}admin/js/urlify.js"></script>
..
{% endblock %}
You will have to adjust templates/pathes/etc. to your needs.
For this purpose, I personnaly use Django
Sekizai.
In my base template I have this block :
{% load sekizai_tags %}
<body>
# your own logic here
{% with_data "js-data" as javascripts %}
{% for javascript in javascripts %}
<script type="text/javascript"
src="{{ STATIC_URL }}{{ javascript }}" ></script>
{% endfor %}
{% end_with_data %}
</body>
Then, in my included or extending templates :
{% load sekizai_tags %}
{% add_data "js-data" "myapp/js/script.js" %}
Note you can define multiple blocks, and also use it for CSS, which is very
convenient.
Files added with "add_data" tag will never be repeated even if added several
times.
