Tag library that provides support for macros in Django templates.
Usage example:
0) Save this file as
<yourapp>/templatetags/macros.py
1) In your template load the library:
{% load macros %}
2) Define a new macro called 'my_macro' with parameter 'arg1':
{% macro my_macro arg1 %}
Parameter: {{ arg1 }}
{% endmacro %}`
3a) Use the macro with a String parameter:
{% usemacro my_macro "String parameter" %}
3b) or with a variable parameter (provided the context defines 'somearg' variable, e.g. with value "Variable parameter"):
{% usemacro my_macro somearg %}
3c) !!NEW!! usemacro
now also supports filters attached to parameters:
{% usemacro my_macro "lowercase parameter"|upper %}
Output of the above code would be:
Parameter: String parameter
Parameter: Variable parameter
Parameter: LOWERCASE PARAMETER
4) !!NEW!! Alternatively save your macros in a separate file, e.g. "mymacros.html" and load it into the current template with:
{% loadmacros "mymacros.html" %}
Macros can take zero or more arguments and both context variables and macro arguments are resolved in macro body when used in {% usemacro ... %}
tag.
Bear in mind that Macros are local to each template file and are not inherited through {% extends ... %}
blocks.

I think when you're adding variables to the context during a use_macro call, they are not cleared afterwards, and will be available outside of the macro (although I haven't tested it, so I might be mistaken).
But you probably want to use context.push() to add a new context dict to the stack, and context.pop() when you're done.
#
Awesome instructions. Truth be told, I haven't even looked over the code yet, just installed the tag, followed the instructions and chopped a ton of fat out of one of my templates! Thanks!
#
Cool stuff. When I tried it inside a {% for ... %} block though, I got an exception. I think it's because in UseMacroNode.render() where it says:
the values in the Node get stripped out on the first time the UseMacroNode is parsed, so the second time around the {% for %} loop there's nothing there. Instead, I changed to a list comprehension and it works fine:
#
I have just uploaded much improved version with:
{% loadmacros %}
tag{% usemacro name xyz|filter $}
{% for %}
loop (thanks for a hint, Leo).It's getting pretty usable now ;-)
#
I just converted the tag to be able to use args and *kwargs, since I badly needed that in one of my templates. Saved me from having to make a template tag just for that, which would've been insane. This one's better since it's reusable, and can go in the same file as a macro. :)
#
Correction (syntax highlighting messed it up):
*args and **kwargs
#
just like flask/jsp
#
The imports can be reduced to the following:
The other imports are unused.
#
macros args overwrite global context
there should be: UseMacroNode.render(self, context): context.push() for (arg, fe) in [(self.args[i], self.filter_expressions[i]) for i in range(len(self.args))]: context[arg] = fe.resolve(context) result = self.nodelist.render(context) context.pop() return result
#
#
This code is not compatible with django 1.4.
There is no find_template_source on django.template.loader. But it was easy to resolve. Just removed it as it's not being used.

Here's a gist that seems to have adapted this, but has been updated more recently: https://gist.github.com/skyl/1715202
