How do i pass a lot of values to my template?
Documentation taken straight from the Mako Website:
myPythonProgram.py:
from mako.template import Template
mytemplate = Template(filename='myHtmlTemplate.htm')
print mytemplate.render(name="jack") #<- how to pass like 40 more variables?
myHtmlTemplate.htm
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p> ${name} </p>
</body>
</html>
This solution works fine for like under 10 but i want to use up to 40 Variables.
Thank you!
render() accepts an arbitrary number of positional arguments, and an arbitrary number of keyword arguments.
From the information you've given, you should probably keep a dictionary of your 40 items.
mydict = {'name': 'jack', 'age': 42, ... }
A call to mytemplate.render(**mydict) will unpack the arguments, and then you can refer to ${name}, ${age} and so on in the template.
