django-mjml
===========

The simplest way to use `MJML `_ in `Django `_ templates.

|

Installation
------------

Requirements:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* ``Django`` from 2.2 to 5.1
* ``requests`` from 2.24.0 (only if you are going to use API HTTP-server for rendering)
* ``mjml`` from 4.7.1 to 4.15.2 (older version may work, but not tested anymore)

**\1\. Install** ``mjml``.

Follow https://github.com/mjmlio/mjml#installation and https://documentation.mjml.io/#installation to get more info.

**\2\. Install** ``django-mjml``. ::

$ pip install django-mjml

If you want to use API HTTP-server you also need ``requests`` (at least version 2.24)::

$ pip install django-mjml[requests]

To install development version use ``git+https://github.com/liminspace/django-mjml.git@main`` instead ``django-mjml``.

**\3\. Set up** ``settings.py`` **in your django project.** ::

INSTALLED_APPS = (
...,
'mjml',
)

|

Usage
-----

Load ``mjml`` in your django template and use ``mjml`` tag that will compile MJML to HTML::

{% load mjml %}

{% mjml %}




Hello world!




{% endmjml %}

|

Advanced settings
-----------------

There are three backend modes for compiling: ``cmd``, ``tcpserver`` and ``httpserver``.

cmd mode
^^^^^^^^

This mode is very simple, slow and used by default.

Configure your Django::

MJML_BACKEND_MODE = 'cmd'
MJML_EXEC_CMD = 'mjml'

You can change ``MJML_EXEC_CMD`` and set path to executable ``mjml`` file, for example::

MJML_EXEC_CMD = '/home/user/node_modules/.bin/mjml'

Also you can pass addition cmd arguments, for example::

MJML_EXEC_CMD = ['node_modules/.bin/mjml', '--config.minify', 'true', '--config.validationLevel', 'strict']

Once you have a working installation, you can skip the sanity check on startup to speed things up::

MJML_CHECK_CMD_ON_STARTUP = False

tcpserver mode
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This mode is faster than ``cmd`` but it needs the `MJML TCP-Server `_.

Configure your Django::

MJML_BACKEND_MODE = 'tcpserver'
MJML_TCPSERVERS = [
('127.0.0.1', 28101), # the host and port of MJML TCP-Server
]

You can set several servers and a random one will be used::

MJML_TCPSERVERS = [
('127.0.0.1', 28101),
('127.0.0.1', 28102),
('127.0.0.1', 28103),
]

httpserver mode
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

don't forget to install ``requests`` to use this mode.

This mode is faster than ``cmd`` and a bit slower than ``tcpserver``, but you can use official MJML API https://mjml.io/api
or run your own HTTP-server (for example https://github.com/danihodovic/mjml-server) to render templates.

Configure your Django::

MJML_BACKEND_MODE = 'httpserver'
MJML_HTTPSERVERS = [
{
'URL': 'https://api.mjml.io/v1/render', # official MJML API
'HTTP_AUTH': ('', ''),
},
{
'URL': 'http://127.0.0.1:38101/v1/render', # your own HTTP-server
},
]

You can set one or more servers and a random one will be used.
