Installation

You need to add an import to your Django view:

from breve.plugin.django_adapter import loader, render_to_response

Configuration

Using this API will require one setting in your Django configuration file:

BREVE_ROOT = '/path/to/templates'

Unlike Django templates, Brevé will not search the TEMPLATE_PATH (although you can change this by using a custom loader).

Note that this plugin was tested against Django SVN (trunk) on 2007/01/08. Other versions may require modification to the plugin.

Writing a Controller

from django.http import HttpResponse
from breve.plugin.django_adapter import loader

def index ( request ):
    t = loader.get_template ( 'index' )
    return HttpResponse ( t.render ( { 'foo': 'bar' } ) )

The adapter also supports the slightly shorter idiom:

from django.http import HttpResponse
from breve.plugin.django_adapter import render_to_response

def index ( request ):
    return render_to_response ( 'index', { 'foo': 'bar' } )

render_to_string ( ) is supported as well.

Known Issues

I've only done brief testing with Django, although I'm aware of people using Brevé and Django together.

Please report any issues or shortcomings.
