Django Render

=============

Overview

---------

Django render provides a template tag that works similar to an `inclusion tag `_, however it will attempt to use a custom template for each model. This is useful when iterating over a list of heterogeneous model instances or a queryset with generic relationships.

Installation

-------------

1. ``pip install -e git+git://github.com:lincolnloop/django-render.git#egg=django-render``

2. Add ``django_render`` to your ``INSTALLED_APPS``

Basic Usage

-----------

Create a template for each model you want to render in ``render//.html`` in your template directory. The object will be passed to the template context as ``render_obj``.

Here is an example of how to use the tag in your templates::

    {% load render %}

    {% for obj in misc_object_list %}

        {% render obj %}

    {% endfor %}

For advanced usage see the docstring in ``django_render/templatetags/render.py``.
