class documentation

Baseclass for all loaders. Subclass this and override `get_source` to implement a custom loading mechanism. The environment provides a `get_template` method that calls the loader's `load` method to get the :class:`Template` object. A very basic example for a loader that looks up templates on the file system could look like this:: from jinja2 import BaseLoader, TemplateNotFound from os.path import join, exists, getmtime class MyLoader(BaseLoader): def __init__(self, path): self.path = path def get_source(self, environment, template): path = join(self.path, template) if not exists(path): raise TemplateNotFound(template) mtime = getmtime(path) with open(path) as f: source = f.read() return source, path, lambda: mtime == getmtime(path)

Method get_source Get the template source, filename and reload helper for a template. It's passed the environment and template name and has to return a tuple in the form ``(source, filename, uptodate)`` or raise a `TemplateNotFound` error if it can't locate the template.
Method list_templates Iterates over all templates. If the loader does not support that it should raise a :exc:`TypeError` which is the default behavior.
Method load Loads a template. This method looks up the template in the cache or loads one by calling :meth:`get_source`. Subclasses should not override this method as loaders working on collections of other loaders (such as :class:`PrefixLoader` or :class:`ChoiceLoader`) will not call this method but `get_source` directly.

def get_source(self, environment, template): (source)

Get the template source, filename and reload helper for a template. It's passed the environment and template name and has to return a tuple in the form ``(source, filename, uptodate)`` or raise a `TemplateNotFound` error if it can't locate the template. The source part of the returned tuple must be the source of the template as a string. The filename should be the name of the file on the filesystem if it was loaded from there, otherwise ``None``. The filename is used by Python for the tracebacks if no loader extension is used. The last item in the tuple is the `uptodate` function. If auto reloading is enabled it's always called to check if the template changed. No arguments are passed so the function must store the old state somewhere (for example in a closure). If it returns `False` the template will be reloaded.

def list_templates(self): (source)

Iterates over all templates. If the loader does not support that it should raise a :exc:`TypeError` which is the default behavior.

def load(self, environment, name, globals=None): (source)

Loads a template. This method looks up the template in the cache or loads one by calling :meth:`get_source`. Subclasses should not override this method as loaders working on collections of other loaders (such as :class:`PrefixLoader` or :class:`ChoiceLoader`) will not call this method but `get_source` directly.
