# django_slots

Allows multiline strings to be captured and passed to template tags.

## Demo

1. Register a component

```python
# app/templatetags/component_tags.py
from django_slots import Library, Component

register = Library()

@register.block_component
class Details(Component):
pass
```

2. Create a template

```html+django
{# app/templates/components/details.html #}

{{ summary|default:slots.summary }}
{{ slot }}

```

Usage:

```html+django
{% load component_tags %}
{% load slot_tags %}

{% details summary="the summary" %}
the default slot
{% /details %}

{% details %}
{% slot summary %}the summary{% /slot %}
the default slot
{% /details %}
```

## Installation

```shell
pip install django-slots
```

```python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
# ...

'django_slots',
]
```

## Slots

Use `{% slot name %}{% /slot %}` to capture and name a slot. These slots will be available in the template in a dictionary called `slots`. eg `{{ slots.name }}`.

Any lines not surrounded by a slot tag will be available in the component template as `{{ slot }}`.

## Template

The default the template path is `components/.html`.

Use `template_name` attribute or `get_template_name()` method to override.

## Change name

By default, the template tag name will be the Component class name converted to snake case. Use the `name` attribute to override.

eg:

```python
from django_slots import Component, Library

register = Library()

@register.inline_component
class Button(Component):
name = 'btn'
```

```html+django
{% btn %}
```

## Change name format

By default, inline tags are named `"{name}/"` and block tags are named `"{name}", "/{name}"`. To change this format specify `inline_tag_name` and `block_tag_names` attributes.

eg:

```python
from django_slots import Component, Library

register = Library()

class AppComponent(Component):
inline_tag_name = "{name}end"
block_tag_names = "{name}", "end{name}"


@register.component
class Button(AppComponent):
pass
```

```html+django
{% buttonend %}

{% button %}{% endbutton %}
```

## Inline only template tag

Use `@register.inline_component` to only allow `{% inline/ %}` use.

## Block only template tag

Use `@register.block_component` to only allow `{% block %}{% /block %}` use.

## Validate arguments

Implement `def get_content_data(slots, **kwargs)` to validate arguments.

eg:

```python
from django_slots import Component, Library

register = Library()

@register.component
class Button(Component):
STYLE = ["primary", "secondary"]
def get_context_data(self, slots, *, style: str):
if style not in self.STYLE:
raise self.validation_error(f"style {style!r} not in {self.STYLE!r}")
return super().get_context_data(slots, style=style)
```

## Namespace components

Components can be namespaced which is useful for creating a third party app.

```python
from django_slots import Library, Component

register = Library()

class NHSUKComponent(Component):
namespace = 'nhsuk'

@register.component
class Button(NHSUKComponent):
pass
```

```html+django
{% nhsuk:button %}
Save and continue
{% /nhsuk:button %}
```
