I use django template index.html to render the frontpage. It includes another template to create a link icon. This template url_icon.html includes another template icon.html. When passing the arguments down the way, I face with an error. How to fix it?

index.html

.
.
.
{% include "url_icon.html" with name="return" url="/" %}
.
.
.

url_icon.html

<a href="{{url}}">{% include "icon.html" with icon={{ name }} %}</a>

icon.html

<img src="/static/images/{{ name }}.png" />

Causing an error:

Could not parse the remainder: '{{' from '{{'

CodePudding user response：

it looks like there are a few things you can do to improve/fix this. Addressing #1 and #2 should fix your issue. I've also added suggestions for best practices that would probably require refactoring (#3, #4).

1. It looks like you need to remove the curly-braces from name inside the {% include %} tag. Context variables can be used inside tags without extra syntax.

url_icon.html:

{% include "icon.html" with icon=name %}

2. icon.html will have access to name since you're not using the only keyword when updating its context, so your code might appear to work at first ({% include %} documentation). However, it looks like your intention is to refer to it as icon.

• Use the variable icon in instead of name

icon.html:

<img src="/static/images/{{ icon }}.png" />

3. Optional suggestion: Use Django's staticfiles system

Try using the {% static %} tag for your icon. This will help make deployment easier, especially if you use a separate CDN from your webserver. There's lots of literature on how to set up staticfiles for Django projects in production, it's a large topic, but you'll be able to approach it more easily if you use the {% static %} tag from the beginning.

4. Optional suggestion: Django's URL routing system

Your route in index.html is hard-coded to be "/". Django has a powerful URL referencing system to leverage. If you've defined the root URL / using Django too, you can refer to it by name. Docs: {% url %}, and for the back-end, reverse().
