How do I resolve a conflict between Handlebars and Jinja, since the syntax of both are similar?

python handlebars.js jinja2

You can use the tag raw who will disregard whatever is inside her block:

{% raw %}
  {{ title }}
{% endraw %}

In that case, title will not be computed by Jinja.

Another way, slightly dirtier, is to use a variable expression:

{{ '{{' }}title{{ '}}' }}

Take a look at documentation from Japan if you have any questions.

Well, I have a different option, and maybe it’s better. How about changing the outline of jinja2?

class CustomFlask(Flask):
    jinja_options = Flask.jinja_options.copy()
    jinja_options.update(dict(
        block_start_string='<%',
        block_end_string='%>',
        variable_start_string='%%',
        variable_end_string='%%',
        comment_start_string='<#',
        comment_end_string='#>',
    ))

app = CustomFlask(__name__)

  • I don’t think it’s a good idea to change the syntax of jinja2. Although this is possible, it impairs the reusability of the code. What if you want to transport a Flask template to Django? I believe your solution is good for small projects only.
