nunjucks plugin for wintersmith
- Install globally using npm:
npm install -g wintersmith-nunjucks
- Add to your wintersmith config.json:
"plugins": ["wintersmith-nunjucks"]
- Create nunjucks templates ending in
.html
From the nunjucks documentation at http://jlongster.github.io/nunjucks/templating.html#filters:
Filters are essentially functions that can be applied to variables. They are called with a pipe operator (|) and can take arguments.
For more information on how to write customer Filters, take a look at the API documentation page at: http://jlongster.github.io/nunjucks/api#custom-filters
To use customer filters with wintersmith, put the filter in its own file stored in a filters directory. The filename has to be the name of the filter + '.js'.
so if your filter is in './filters/myfirstfilter.js' add a nunjucks section like this to your config.json:
"nunjucks": {
"filterdir": "filters",
"filters": ["myfirstfilter"]
}
It will be available in your templates at 'myfirstfilter'
Filters that are already packaged in modules (like for example nunjucks-date) can be loaded by specifying them like this in your config.json, if they export an install-method:
"nunjucks": {
"filtermodules": "nunjucks-date"
}
this specific filter would then be available as date
in your templates.
As of nunjucks 2 autoescaping was turned on by default. This plugin reverts that since autoescaping is not usually wanted when used in a static site generator. If you want to change behaviour for some reason you can control it with the autoescape option in your config.json.
"nunjucks": {
"autoescape": true
}
