Is there a way in django to not need the {% load static %}
at the top of every template?
This question indicates you can factor out common load tags into se
The previous answer's method is deprecated as of Django 3.0. (see : https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/releases/3.0/#features-removed-in-3-0)
Now you'd need to add the following to your template settings:
'builtins': ['django.templatetags.static']
This is the updated templates setting:
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
'builtins': [
'django.templatetags.static',
],
},
},
]
As of Django 1.9, you can add a builtins
key to your TEMPLATES["OPTIONS"]
in settings.py
.
For Django 2.1+, use:
'builtins': ['django.templatetags.static']
For Django 1.9 - 2.0 (this will work up until 2.2, after which it is deprecated), use:
'builtins': ['django.contrib.staticfiles.templatetags.staticfiles']
For example, the whole template setting might look like this:
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [],
'APP_DIRS': True,
'OPTIONS': {
'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
],
'builtins': ['django.templatetags.static'],
},
},
]
Thanks to @ZachPlachue for the Django 3 update.
