# Chameleon fetcher
A small wrapper for [chameleon page templates](https://github.com/malthe/chameleon) to easily fetch and render templates.
## Installation
```bash
pip install chameleon_fetcher
```
## Usage
E.g. you have in template dir `my_template_dir` a file `simple.pt` with
the following content:
```html
${template_name} ${myvar} ${some_var}
```
You can then do:
```python
from chameleon_fetcher import ChameleonFetcher
cf = ChameleonFetcher('my_template_dir', some_var=42)
output = cf('simple', myvar='test')
assert output == 'simple test 42'
```
Please note how `some_var` is set "globally", while for the specific template also a
variable `myvar` is used.
The following parameters are accepted by ChameleonFetcher:
- **template_dir**: the directory where the templates are located
And optionally:
- _extension_: extension of the template files, defaults to '.pt'
- _boolean_attributes_: what boolean attributes should be supported, defaults to all valid html
boolean attributes. See https://meiert.com/en/blog/boolean-attributes-of-html/
- _auto_reload_: if the templates should be reloaded on change, defaults to True
- **kwargs: other params you want to have available in all templates, e.g. flask=flask
For using the actual templates, check the fantastic [chameleon documentation](https://chameleon.readthedocs.io/en/latest/).
