AngularJS with Django - Conflicting template tags

Question

I want to use AngularJS with Django however they both use {{ }} as their template tags. Is there an easy way to change one of the two to use some other custom

Answer 1

If you use django 1.5 and newer use:

  {% verbatim %}
    {{if dying}}Still alive.{{/if}}
  {% endverbatim %}

If you are stuck with django 1.2 on appengine extend the django syntax with the verbatim template command like this ...

from django import template

register = template.Library()

class VerbatimNode(template.Node):

    def __init__(self, text):
        self.text = text

    def render(self, context):
        return self.text

@register.tag
def verbatim(parser, token):
    text = []
    while 1:
        token = parser.tokens.pop(0)
        if token.contents == 'endverbatim':
            break
        if token.token_type == template.TOKEN_VAR:
            text.append('{{')
        elif token.token_type == template.TOKEN_BLOCK:
            text.append('{%')
        text.append(token.contents)
        if token.token_type == template.TOKEN_VAR:
            text.append('}}')
        elif token.token_type == template.TOKEN_BLOCK:
            text.append('%}')
    return VerbatimNode(''.join(text))

In your file use:

from google.appengine.ext.webapp import template
template.register_template_library('utilities.verbatim_template_tag')
